Description
LOTTUS dress
Lottus is undeniably a perfect summer dress with its straps and its finely fitted V neckline at the front and at the back. Its originality lies in the bottom of the garment enhanced by a series of large knife pleats. Three versions are available. Version A is a refined straight dress. Version B is similar to version A but enhanced by a ruffle below the series of pleats. Both versions A and B can be worn on their own or with a belt to tie. Version C features a lengthened empire dress bodice associated to gathered panels. As it is the common thread of the design, the panels are finished by a series of knife pleats at the bottom. Bust darts come to fit the bodice and give the garment a very feminine drape. It is also to be underlined that the straps are wide enough to cover those of your underwear.
All seam allowances are included
