Isabel Cotton-Silk 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 Isabel Dress falls to a graceful tea-length, just above the ankle, with a fitted, hand-smocked bodice and softly structured, fitted short sleeves that celebrate delicate craftsmanship. Woven in a lightweight cotton-silk blend, the fabric drapes with effortless elegance, catching the light with every movement. Thoughtfully designed for both ease and refinement, it features discreet side pockets, a side zipper, and a subtle keyhole closure at the back, letting the flowing skirt move freely in a quiet, sophisticated rhythm.
