Alice | Strapless 3D Floral Midi Cocktail Dress
Strapless 3D Floral Cocktail Dress for Weddings and Evening Events
Meet Alice, a strapless midi cocktail dress covered in raised 3D floral appliqué that gives the fabric real depth and movement. The straight bandeau neckline and close-fitting body lead down to a softly fluted mermaid hem, creating a polished formal dress shape. Wear it as a wedding guest, at the races, or to a cocktail party or formal evening event.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Fine mesh base layered with raised, textured floral appliqué for a dimensional, tactile finish.
- Neckline: Strapless straight-across bandeau neckline that frames the shoulders and collarbones.
- Cut/Fit: Fitted through the bodice, waist and hips for a sleek, figure-skimming silhouette.
- Length: Midi length, finishing around the mid-calf.
- Details/Finish: Gently flared mermaid hem with a sheer mesh edge that softens each step.
- Style: Elegant formal evening dress, shown in soft blue, lilac purple, deep red and a black base with pale floral appliqué.
Styling Tips
- Pair the soft blue or lilac with strappy white heeled sandals, a pearl-drop necklace and a small clutch for a spring wedding or day at the races.
- Style the deep red or black and white with gold hoops, a sleek low bun and pointed pumps for a cocktail party or evening reception.
- Throw a tailored black blazer over the shoulders for cooler evenings, adding barely-there heels to keep the look refined.
Care
Gentle cold hand wash, turned inside out to protect the appliqué. Do not wring; dry flat in the shade and steam lightly if needed. Always check the care label before washing.
Size & Fit
This dress has a close, body-hugging fit from the neckline through the hips, as the photos show. Choose your usual size for a snug, sculpted look, or size up if you prefer a little more ease through the bust and hips. Refer to the size guide below for the best fit.
