Black & Gold Batik Print Cotton Maxi Dress

Covered up has never been the same as dressed down. Black cotton printed in gold, camel, and brown, with a V-neck, blouson sleeves buttoned at the cuff, a gathered waist with a self-tie sash, and a border print that shifts at the hem into a ruffled flounce.

The fall wedding that's outdoors. Thanksgiving at someone else's house. The dinner where you'd rather not think about your arms. Long sleeves, long skirt, and a waist you set yourself.

Details:
• V-neck with gathered shoulder seams
• Long blouson sleeves with buttoned cuff
• Gathered waist with self-tie sash
• Full A-line skirt
• Gathered ruffle flounce at the hem
• Maxi length
• Black ground with gold, camel, and brown print
• Material: Cotton

Fit:
• Easy through the body — the sash sets the waist
• Blouson sleeve with room through the arm
• Maxi length, hits above the ankle
• Lightweight cotton with a soft drape

Holly's styling advice:
• The autumn play: a brown heeled sandal, the Gold Knot Tassel Drop Earrings, sash tied at the natural waist — the print is already doing plenty
• The layered move: the Blaine Chunky Knit Cardigan over the shoulders, a tall boot under the hem
• The evening version: the Liquid Leather Drape Neck Zip Jacket in black, hair back, sash pulled a little tighter
