Ilara Cotton Dress

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.

The ILARA Dress balances contemporary charm and timeless grace with its juxtaposition of textures. Its relaxed boatneck neckline and long, slim, sleeves crafted from 100% Cotton Jersey create a flattering tailored silhouette that ensures breathability and ease. The thoughtfully lined mini-length skirt is crafted from contrasting voile, creating an airy delicacy that balances the structured bodice.

The ILARA’s understated elegance makes it adaptable for a variety of occasions, offering versatility in both Black and Opaline hues and making it a perfect choice for both relaxed daytime outings and sophisticated evenings.
