Though downright monastic in its simplicity, the bodice of this dress is intricately pieced together so a pattern is formed by the different directions of the velvet nap. Only visible in certain light, it's like a secret you can only share during close encounters. Beautiful details like hip draping, flared cuffs and embroidery prevent starkness and provide understated elegance.
