A fit-and-flare midi dress with a structured sweetheart bodice on thin spaghetti straps — vertical seaming through the bust gives it a corset-like shape without visible boning or lacing. The fitted waist drops into a full, gathered skirt that falls just below the knee, so the silhouette reads as fitted-then-full rather than straight through. The structured, mid-weight fabric gives the bodice enough support to hold its shape on its own, and the gathered skirt adds movement without tipping into a full ball-gown volume. It's an easy dress to dress up for a summer wedding or garden party, and works just as well with flat sandals for a lower-key day out.
