Alva Lavender High Neck Cowl Back Flutter Sleeve Gathered Midi Dress
Product Details
The Alva Lavender Dress is a chiffon midi dress featuring a high mock neck, draped cape-style sleeves, a fitted waistband, and a gathered flowy skirt. Its defining detail is the open cowl-draped back, fastened by two buttons at the back neck. Designed for wedding guest, cocktail, brunch, graduation, and semi-formal occasions, this dress pairs a relaxed blouson bodice with lightweight chiffon and a full polyester-viscose lining to create a soft, feminine silhouette that moves comfortably from day to evening.

FAQ
- Q1: Can I wear the Alva lavender dress to a wedding as a guest? A1: Yes. The midi length, high neck and soft lavender color make it appropriate for most wedding guest settings, including daytime and evening ceremonies. Avoid wearing it if the wedding theme specifically requests no pastels or if the bride has chosen lavender for her bridal party.
- Q2: Is this dress suitable for a cocktail party? A2: Yes. The chiffon midi silhouette and open cowl back fit standard cocktail dress codes. Pair it with heels and minimal jewelry to complete the look.
- Q3: Can I wear this dress to a graduation ceremony? A3: Yes. The modest high-neck front and mid-calf length are appropriate for graduation ceremonies. The flowy chiffon skirt also stays comfortable under a gown if needed.
- Q4: Do you offer rush production and expedited shipping? A4: Yes. LVLVS offers standard production and rush production for an additional $20. Shipping options include economy delivery (15–20 business days) and expedited delivery (5–8 business days). You can select your preferred option at checkout.
- Q5: What bra should I wear with the open back? A5: An adhesive bra, silicone petals, or a low-back strapless bra are the best options. A regular bra with a back band will be visible through the open cowl back. The dress runs true to size, so order your usual size and refer to the size chart for bust and waist measurements.
- Q6: How does the back of the dress close? A6: The high neck collar closes at the back with two buttons. The rest of the back is open and draped in a cowl fold, so there is no zipper along the back. The dress pulls on over the head.
