One dress. Two completely different layers. The Alice is a sleeveless black maxi with a wide A-line silhouette and a chartreuse underskirt peeking out at the hem — plus a hand-stitched botanical vine running down the center front that ties the two layers together. It looks like a styled outfit. It pulls over your head in thirty seconds.
"The Alice is for the woman who wants to look like she put together a whole look without actually putting together a whole look. The black outer layer with the green underlayer at the hem is clever enough on its own — but the embroidered vine running down the front in matching chartreuse is the detail that makes it art. It photographs beautifully against stone, against greenery, against literally anything." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York
✔ Faux Two-Layer Construction — a single pull-on dress built with a black outer layer and a chartreuse underskirt that shows at the hem, creating the appearance of a layered outfit in one piece. No styling required.
✔ Botanical Embroidered Vine — a hand-stitched branch and leaf motif in chartreuse running vertically down the center front of the black layer, connecting the two colors and giving the dress a deliberate, artisanal quality.
✔ Crew Neckline — a clean, round neckline that keeps the focus on the embroidery and the layered hem rather than the décolleté. Understated framing for a maximally interesting dress.
✔ Wide A-Line Silhouette — a relaxed, voluminous fit that opens dramatically from the shoulders to the hem with no waist seam. The shape that moves freely, suits every body type, and creates an architectural silhouette when standing still.
✔ Crinkle-Texture Fabric — a natural, textured cotton-feel fabric with a deliberately crinkled surface that adds visual depth to the solid black layer and drapes softly without ironing.
✔ Mid-Calf Length with Contrast Hem — the black outer layer falls to the mid-calf while the chartreuse underlayer extends slightly below, creating a color-blocked hem effect that draws the eye downward.
Black layer. Green underlayer. One embroidered vine. The dress that dresses itself.
