Lace Bodice Midi Dress for Weddings, Races and Cocktail Events

Lydia is a graceful lace midi dress that pairs a richly textured floral lace bodice with a soft, floaty chiffon skirt. The defining detail is the cascading front drape that falls into a gentle high-low hem, giving every step a little movement. Shown here as a deep plum purple dress, it suits wedding guest invitations, spring racing days, cocktail evenings and Christmas parties alike.

Product Details

Fabric look/feel: Raised floral lace over the bodice and sleeves, with a light, fluid chiffon-style skirt that drapes softly.
Neckline: Clean round neckline that sits just below the collarbone for a polished, modest frame.
Sleeves: Half-length sheer lace sleeves finishing around the elbow.
Cut/Fit: Neat, close-fitting bodice that meets a raised waist seam, flowing into an A-line skirt.
Closure: Zip at the centre back.
Length: Midi length with an asymmetric high-low hem that dips slightly lower at the back.
Details/Finish: A layered, cascading drape down the front of the skirt adds soft volume and movement.

Styling Tips

For a wedding guest look, add nude strappy heels, pearl drop earrings and a small metallic clutch.
Head to the races with a structured fascinator or headband, block-heel sandals and a neat top-handle bag.
On cooler evenings, layer a tailored cropped blazer or a fine knit cardigan over the shoulders with pointed pumps.

Care

Hand wash cold or use a gentle delicate cycle inside a laundry bag, then hang or lay flat to dry. Cool iron on the skirt only, avoiding the lace, and always check the care label.

Size & Fit

The bodice is designed to sit close to the body, while the skirt falls loosely from the raised waist, so the fit is mainly determined by your bust and shoulders. If you are between sizes or prefer a little more room through the top, we suggest sizing up.
