Solene Cotton Midi 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 SOLENE Dress exemplifies a balance between structure and softness. Made from lightweight 100% cotton voile, this sheath dress features a lined Opaline-colored bodice with flared elbow-length sleeves that strike the perfect balance between form and flow. This soft volume is elegantly gathered into a curved black empire waistline artistically created from elastic bubble smocking that seamlessly continues throughout the unlined midi-length skirt. A back neck keyhole, fastened with an inner trocus shell button, adds a delicate finish to its design. Perfect for those who appreciate understated elegance, add the SOLENE to your collection for a refined option to the little black dress.
