Marylin | Off-Shoulder Lace Ruffle Maxi Dress with Side Slit

There's white, and then there's this white. The Marylin is an off-shoulder maxi in an all-over tonal lace — a subtle, tone-on-tone botanical pattern woven into the fabric itself that you notice up close and that catches the light from a distance. A soft ruffle layer at the bust that falls over the elasticated off-shoulder neckline and adds volume exactly where the eye goes first. A relaxed, flowing silhouette from waist to ankle with a side slit that opens at the thigh and lets the dress move freely in warm air. The kind of white dress that looks like it belongs somewhere beautiful — and makes wherever you are feel that way too.

"The Marylin is the white dress I'd pack for every trip and reach for every morning. The tonal lace fabric is what makes it different from every other off-shoulder white maxi out there — it's not plain fabric, it has texture and dimension that you only fully appreciate in person and in sunlight. The ruffle at the bust adds the romantic detail that the silhouette needs without making the dress feel overdone, and the side slit keeps it from being too covered-up for real summer heat. I'd style this with flat sandals and silver jewelry for the beach, and strappy heeled sandals with gold for dinner. It goes both ways without changing a thing." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York

✔ Off-Shoulder Elasticated Neckline — sits across the collarbone and upper arms with a soft, secure elastic that stays in place all day without pins or adjustments, leaving the shoulders and décolleté completely bare.

✔ Ruffle Overlay at Bust — a loose, flowing ruffle layer that falls over the neckline and adds soft volume and romantic detail to the upper body — the finish that makes this dress feel like more than a simple white maxi.

✔ Tonal Lace Fabric — an all-over tone-on-tone botanical lace woven into the fabric that adds texture and dimension in sunlight without adding weight or altering the relaxed drape of the silhouette.

✔ Side Slit — opens at the thigh and allows full movement and airflow in summer heat, adding a confident ease to the flowing silhouette without shortening the overall length.

✔ Ankle-Length A-Line Silhouette — relaxed through the body from bust to hem with a gentle flare that moves freely and photographs beautifully in natural light, especially against a beach or outdoor backdrop.

✔ Short Off-Shoulder Sleeves — a soft sleeve that falls just off the shoulder and hits at the upper arm, adding a slight structure to the neckline without covering the shoulder completely.

Tonal lace. Off-shoulder. The white dress that already knows exactly where it's going.
