1960s roman holiday sundress + bolero, m

Sweltering on your Vespa? This outfit ensures you'll look and feel cool no matter what the temperature: featherweight layers of lavender and pewter cotton voile provide maximum tonal depth and full coverage without weight. Our favorite piece is the angular bolero, which features mod cutouts at the underarms. Che bella!

Sleeveless dress with two-ply lavender bodice and two-tone, two layer full skirt; rear nylon zipper closure and elastic waistband for shape. Deconstructed short sleeve jacket with vented sides and single front button closure. Both pieces unlined.
