Emiliana | Wrap-Style Maxi Dress

There is a dress you put on and adjust all evening and a dress you put on and forget you are wearing. The Emiliana is the second kind. A deep crossover V-neckline wraps the bodice in a clean diagonal that flatters the chest and waist in a single move, the elasticated waist sits exactly where a waist should sit without pinching, and the full maxi skirt falls from the hip in a fluid sweep that moves with every step rather than against it. The kind of dress that works for a dinner reservation, a weekend wedding, a vacation evening, and every occasion where you needed to look completely pulled together in under three minutes.

The Emiliana is a crossover V-neck maxi dress with three-quarter sleeves, an elasticated waist, and a full A-line skirt in a lightweight printed fabric. Available in bold multicolor swirl, white with navy botanical, cream with botanical sketch, and sky blue with oversized red poppies. The kind of dress that transitions from a summer lunch to an evening event without a single wardrobe change.

"The Emiliana is the dress I recommend when someone wants to look elegant without thinking about it. The crossover neckline does the work — it defines the upper body immediately, the elastic waist means it fits whether you are a size up or down from your usual, and the maxi length keeps it formal enough for any occasion. I style mine in the navy botanical with simple gold earrings and nothing else. The print carries the whole outfit." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York

✔ Crossover V-neckline — the deep diagonal wrap opens the neckline in a V that frames the décolleté and narrows the upper body visually, creating shape without structure or boning underneath

✔ Three-quarter sleeves — arm coverage that keeps the dress seasonally appropriate from spring through fall, elegant enough for evening without the formality of a full-length sleeve

✔ Elasticated waist with sash detail — a fitted elastic waist defines the silhouette at the natural waist without restriction, accommodating a range of fits while maintaining a clean, intentional line

✔ Full A-line maxi skirt — falls from the waist to the floor in a fluid sweep with enough volume to move freely through a full day or evening of wear without clinging or pulling

✔ Lightweight printed fabric — soft, skin-friendly construction that drapes rather than stiffens, keeping the dress comfortable through warm-weather occasions from morning through evening

✔ Four distinct print colorways — bold multicolor swirl, white with navy botanical, cream with botanical sketch, and sky blue with oversized red poppies — each print bold enough to carry the outfit alone without accessories

The dress that makes every occasion feel like you planned the outfit a week in advance.
