Giovanna | Pleated Sleeveless Maxi Dress

Some dresses make you work for the look. The Giovanna does the opposite — the high waist creates shape without structure, the pleated skirt moves with every step, and the clean crew neckline keeps everything refined without asking a single thing of you in return.

The Giovanna is a sleeveless ankle-length dress in a lightweight polyester with a high empire waist, flowing pleated skirt, and a solid colorway that photographs beautifully and pairs with sandals, mules, or heeled boots without ever looking like it needs more than it already has. Wrinkle-resistant and easy to care for — the dress that travels as well as it wears.

"The Giovanna is the dress I reach for when I want to look polished with zero effort. The high waist does the work of defining the silhouette, the pleated skirt gives it movement and elegance, and the solid color means it goes with every shoe and bag I own. A true wardrobe essential." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York
