Saskia | Flutter Sleeve Cocktail Maxi Dress
Flutter Sleeve Cocktail Maxi Dress for Parties and Celebrations
Saskia is a cocktail maxi dress with a feminine, easy-to-wear shape. A wrap-style V-neck and ruffled cap sleeves sit above a smocked waistband, which opens into a flowing A-line skirt with a tiered ruffle hem. It's a natural choice for a Christmas party, a wedding guest invitation or a dinner date, and it can be dressed down for relaxed autumn weekends.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Lightweight woven fabric with a soft crinkled texture and fine vertical grain that catches the light.
- Neckline: Deep crossover V-neck with a wrap-front look.
- Sleeves: Short flutter cap sleeves with a ruffled edge.
- Cut/Fit: Fitted through the bodice, defined at the smocked waist, then flaring into a full A-line skirt.
- Length: Maxi length, falling to the lower calf or ankle depending on height.
- Details/Finish: Deep ruffle flounce at the hem for movement as you walk.
- Style: Romantic and polished, suited to cocktail evenings, parties and wedding guest outfits.
Styling Tips
- Pair with strappy heeled sandals, a chain clutch and layered gold jewellery for a Christmas party or evening do.
- Throw a tailored blazer over the shoulders and add block heels for a wedding guest look on cooler autumn days.
- Layer a cropped knit cardigan on top and finish with ankle boots for a relaxed weekend lunch.
Care
Gentle cold wash or hand wash, then hang or lay flat to dry. Cool iron if needed, avoiding the smocked waistband, and always check the care label before washing.
Size & Fit
The bodice sits close to the body and the smocked waistband gives a defined, comfortable waistline, while the skirt is generous and flowing. Choose your usual size for a neat fit through the bust; if you prefer more room in the bodice, size up.
