Erdem Aleena Floral-Print Matelassé Dress

Erdem Aleena Floral-Print Matelassé Dress


Erdem's black floral-print matelassé Aleena dress is inspired by a 17th-century creation, spotted by the designer in the history-laden Fashion Museum in Bath. The cropped, fluted sleeves are wrapped with black grosgrain bows – a detail plucked from the original – while a plunging V-shaped back lends an unexpected, contemporary twist. Balance on pin-thin heels to emulate the label's ladylike stance.
