{"product_id":"midi-dress-geometric-butterfly-puff-sleeve","title":"Midi Dress Geometric Butterfly Puff Sleeve","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Midi Dress with Geometric Butterfly Print and Puff Sleeves is a structured piece rather than a soft one: a mandarin collar, volume at the shoulder, a buckled belt at the waist and a monochrome butterfly motif drawn in hard geometric lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Motif Reads Graphic\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA butterfly is usually drawn soft. Reducing it to straight edges and flat panels turns it into a graphic device, so the dress reads as architectural rather than as pretty — which is the difference between a print you notice and one you have seen before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonochrome does the rest. Without color to soften it, the shape has to carry itself, and hard edges are what let it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Structure Holds the Shape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree details do the same job from different directions. The mandarin collar closes the neckline and stops the volume climbing. The puff sleeve pushes width out at the shoulder. The belt cuts the waist so the two do not merge into one column.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove any one and the silhouette softens. That is why this dress does not want to be worn belt-off, unlike the trench coats in this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Structure Costs and Buys\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA closed collar and a full sleeve are warm, and a fixed waist is the opposite of what anyone wants at two on a hot afternoon. That is the bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat arrives in return is a dress that reads as preparation. At a business event, a gallery opening or a lunch where you are the host rather than a guest, structure is exactly what those rooms reward, and a soft dress simply does not carry it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the hot afternoon the Ibiza maxi we carry is the honest answer, and it makes no attempt at any of this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSize and Fit Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour bands are cut for this dress, published by BYMANYC in inches and measured on the wearer rather than on the finished garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBust\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWaist\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHip\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUS 4-6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34-35 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26-27 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36-37 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUS 8-10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36-37 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28-29 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38-39 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUS 12-14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38-40 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30-32 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41-42 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUS 16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41-42 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33-34 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43-44 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure the bust at its fullest with the tape level under the arms, the waist at its narrowest, and the hip around the widest point, keeping the tape snug but not tight and taking every figure over what you intend to wear underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe waist matters more here than anywhere else in the range, since a belt sitting wrong undoes the silhouette.
