staud lace up dress STAUD, Sutton Dress for female in White, Size 8

Why Youll Love It: Soft, stretchy knit that flatters without feeling tight

The launch of this dress, inspired by the distinct mandarin collar of the Chinese qipao and Vietnamese ao dai, fused with a short skirt and bell sleeves for a modern take, marks a special milestone not just in my career as a designer, but in my life too

Hanging: Use internal hanging loops to preserve the off-shoulder sleeve alignment and the integrity of the waistband

The halterneck design is stylized with a long, graceful high-low hem combined with elaborately draped drapery technique and a high slit that accentuates long graceful legs

A cascading side sash adds graceful movement, while the tasteful leg slit brings a subtle hint of allure
