Catalina | Ruched Ruffle Cocktail Maxi Dress
Elegant Ruched Maxi Dress for Party guests and Evening Parties
Meet Catalina, a sheer-look mesh maxi dress that pairs a sculpted, ruched waist with a dramatic cascade of ruffles down the front. The ruffle falls into a high-low split hem that flares softly at the back, giving every step real movement. It is an easy pick as a fall party dress, a standout for holiday parties, and a polished choice for formal dinners.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Lightweight, fine mesh with a soft, airy drape and a slightly sheer finish at the skirt.
- Neckline: Sweetheart-style plunge edged with a delicate frilled trim, with a seamed, bra-style bodice beneath.
- Sleeves: Sleeveless with thin spaghetti straps.
- Cut/Fit: Close-fitting through the bodice and hips, with gathered ruching that wraps the waist and shapes the silhouette.
- Details/Finish: A cascading front ruffle with frilled edges that continues around the hem.
- Length: Maxi length with a front split and a longer, softly flared back for a high-low effect.
- Style: Romantic and elegant, ideal for holiday parties, galas, holiday events and date nights.
Styling Tips
- Wear the burgundy shade with black strappy heels, gold earrings and a slick low bun for a fall or winter party guest outfit.
- Pair the yellow or lilac version with nude pointed pumps and a small metallic clutch for an evening garden party or holiday dinners.
- Layer a cropped tailored blazer over the black dress and add sheer black tights and heeled boots for a cooler-weather holiday party.
Care
Hand wash cold or use a gentle cold cycle in a mesh laundry bag, then lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat. Steam lightly rather than ironing the ruffles, and always check the care label.
Size & Fit
This dress is cut to sit close to the body through the bodice, waist and hips, as the photos show. If you are between sizes or prefer a little more ease through the ruched midsection, consider sizing up. The flared, high-low skirt leaves plenty of room to move.
