The Palma Dress is a chic, modern design with a flattering fit and elegant lines. A square neckline and princess seams at the bust shape the bodice beautifully, while a wide smocked back panel ensures a snug yet comfortable fit that’s easy to slip on and off. The slim skirt features a front slit that opens as you walk, adding a touch of movement and allure.

Finished with the classic Tee Sleeve – a slim, t-shirt style with a neatly folded edge and visible topstitching – this dress combines simple tailoring with refined details, making it a versatile piece for day or evening wear.

Sizing: EU XXS-XXL / US 0-22 included in the pattern.
