Product Details
The Alva Basil Dress is a chiffon midi dress featuring a high mock neck, draped cap sleeves, an open cowl back with two-button neck closure, and a gathered A-line skirt. Designed for wedding guest, cocktail, semi-formal and daytime events, this dress combines a fitted waistband with lightweight chiffon and a full polyester-viscose lining to create a clean, feminine silhouette. The blouson bodice drapes softly across the chest, transitioning into a flowing skirt that falls below the knee.
Key Features
- High mock neck: Standing collar with a soft front drape.
- Draped cap sleeves: Wide, flowing short sleeves.
- Open cowl back: Draped chiffon reveals the upper back.
- Two-button closure: Secures at the back of the neck.
- Fitted waistband: Structured panel defines the natural waist.
- Gathered A-line skirt: Pleats flow into a midi-length hem.
- Full lining: Polyester-viscose blend lining throughout.
Who Is This Dress Best For?
The Alva basil dress works well for shoppers who like a defined waist but prefer room through the hips. Its A-line gathered skirt gives more movement than a bodycon fit, while the open back adds a subtle detail without feeling too exposed.
It may be particularly suitable for shoppers looking for:
- A basil green chiffon midi dress for a semi-formal occasion
- A high neckline with an open cowl back detail
- An A-line gathered skirt rather than a fitted silhouette
- A midi-length dress that falls below the knee
- A dress for wedding guest, cocktail, graduation or daytime events
Why Choose the Alva Basil Green Midi Dress?
Choose the Alva dress if you are looking for:
- High neck coverage: The mock neck provides a polished, covered front.
- Open back detail: The draped cowl back adds visual interest from behind.
- A defined waist: The fitted waistband creates a clear waistline.
- A-line movement: The gathered skirt flows and gives room through the hips.
- Basil green color: A distinctive alternative to neutral or black dresses.
- Lightweight chiffon: Chiffon shell with a full polyester-viscose lining.
