| Feo Midi Dress: Choose this if you want a romantic, designer midi dress with delicate structure and volume: it is made of sheer cotton embossed with Cecilie Bahnsen's signature butterfly pattern, has a fitted bodice with a gathered empire waist, an asymmetrical bouffant skirt with knotted detailing and a left-side bow, and a sheer layered hem that falls to mid-calf. It is lined (100% polyester) and offered in Baby Pink in sizes 6 through 12, but the thin non-adjustable spaghetti straps offer no fit flexibility, and the pale pastel colorway is the only one listed.[1,2,3] | Christy Poplin Dress: Choose this if you want a sleeveless midi dress from Cecilie Bahnsen with a fitted, shirred bodice and a full gathered A-line skirt falling to mid-calf. It is made of 100% cotton crinkling poplin with a crew neckline, elastic waist, side pockets, and a tie-ribbon keyhole detail at the back of the neck, in a very dark solid shade described as black or very dark navy. Note that the exact shade is not confirmed, and the ruched, elasticated rows across the bust and waist give the bodice a distinctly textured, gathered look.[4,5,6,7] | Cilia Crinkled Dress: Choose this if you want a Cecilie Bahnsen piece blending couture elegance and streetwear style: a sheer, structured recycled-polyester shell with a crinkled, minimalist look, fitted bodice with a drop waist, and a voluminous three-tier gathered skirt with short puff sleeves. The black crew-neck dress is lined in fluid 53% cupro and 47% polyester, with a concealed back zipper, and is offered in UK sizes 8 to 14, so refer to the UK column when sizing. Note the length is described inconsistently in the source, cited as both mid-calf and ending above the ankles, so check the 51.25 inch (130.0 cm) shoulder measurement against your height.[8,9,10] |
