Michelle Next To You Dress
Welcoming our newest Maramayart collaboration... the Michelle Next To You Dress 💜
Through “Next to You”, we are reminded that together, we create a beautiful mosaic of life - one where every individual is valued, and every story matters. The intricate designs symbolize the myriad experiences that shape our identities, highlighting the importance of listening and understanding one another.
In embracing the spirit of “Next to You”, we celebrate the profound beauty of connection. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder that it is in these relationships that we find our truest selves, fostering a sense of safety and belonging that enriches our journey through life.
Designed in a lightweight rayon fabric, Michelle features a loose bodice, with short wide sleeves & a button up V-neckline. We love the comfy drawstring waist, with a loose lined flared skirt (with pockets!) creating a feminine vintage silhouette and that perfect twirl moment!
Thanks to the ever talented Mara May for this unforgettable design ☀️
