Founded in 2016 by designer Marina Cortbawi, Brooklyn-based Merlette thoughtfully crafts its garments from all natural, high-quality materials (cotton, wools and silks) with bespoke finishes — perfect for building a timeless wardrobe.
Crafted from a custom designed 100% cotton eyelet, the 'Cypress' dress in a warm ivory hue is a breathable, ankle-length style that exudes effortless sophistication. Custom eyelet embroidery lends an artisanal touch, while long sleeves with button cuffs and a full placket adorned with trocas shell buttons add classic refinement. A removable cotton slip allows for versatility—wear it as a coverup for sun-soaked days, or keep the slip on for a breezy yet opaque silhouette.
