Kaede Smacked 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 KAEDE Dress showcases refined texture and silhouette. This ankle-length piece features a scooped neckline above a ruched bodice with curved panelling that enhances its fitted, non-stretch torso. The feminine delicate adjustable straps provide versatility for a customizable fit. The lined cotton voile skirt drapes effortlessly from the structured top, balancing form and movement. A discreet tailored side zipper ensures ease of wear, making the KAEDE ideal for understated elegance. Whether for evening gatherings or leisurely days, the KAEDE blends structure and fluidity perfectly.
