Raphaël linen pencil dress

Slender, navy shift dress from Italian boutique Raphaël. Classically-styled. The extraordinary detail: textile is punctuated by handcrafted stripes of lace. The heavy royal-blue linen is intricately-overwoven in the same yarns --- with knotted, diamond-shaped cutwork and dense ornamental scrolling. Wide, rounded neck, two breast pockets, princess seams, back metal zipper. High-end workmanship. Fully-lined in silk.
