Our white maxi dresses, with their floor-length designs, embody a sense of soft, sophisticated luxury
This dress like the first Petal & Pup dress features cutouts along the ribs that just add some interest to the dress
Down the front, button detailing sharpens the silhouette, while lace-trimmed pintuck panels bring in softness and texture
Crystal beading adds a touch of brilliance to the soft stretch satin, while the structured bodice and gathered hipline create a flattering and sophisticated shape
That said, heres what Ive found works beautifully year after year: A length that hits at or just above the knee polished without being restrictive A fabric with some body boucle, ponte, jacquard, or a structured cotton blend holds its shape through a long day Color that feels spring-appropriate pastels, warm neutrals, soft florals, clean white or cream A silhouette that doesnt require Spanx to survive comfort matters on a day youre moving from church to brunch to family photos A layer blazer, cardigan, or duster coat because early spring mornings can still be cool The Modern Easter Bonnet The Modern Easter Bonnet I cant write about Easter dressing without acknowledging the hat
