Once Was Lanae Ruched Sleeve Dress

Once Was — Lanae Cotton Silk Print Ruched Sleeve Dress — Moonlit Batik

The Lanae sits in that rare sweet spot between effortless and considered. The cotton-silk blend has a soft breathability to it, with just enough sheen to lift it beyond the everyday — and the Moonlit Batik placement print, with its deep navy and soft blue botanical motifs, has been thoughtfully positioned to work with the silhouette rather than simply cover it. Pintuck detailing at the neckline adds quiet craftsmanship, while ruched long sleeves bring texture and a little femininity without fuss.

A detachable waist tie gives you two dresses in one — wear it loose as an easy shift, or cinch it for shape. The above-the-knee length and gently fluted hem keep it light on its feet. Sandals for resort, heels for dinner; it handles both without trying.
