Victoire Dress Kelly Green Mikado

The Victoire is a fit-and-flare shape that seems to flatter everyone (short waists and long waists alike!) It’s fully lined and constructed with vertical seams that add shape and elongate the silhoutte beautifully. The fabric used here is particularly spectacular — mikado is one of our favorite occasion-dressing fabrics for its structure and slight sheen (in fact its name comes from the Japanese word for 'emperor' because it was worn by 19th-century dignitaries). The natural roundness gives the entire dress a more architectural feel. It's finished with on-seam pockets (handy) and a concealed back zipper.
