The Empire Dress is designed in ALQUEMA's heat-set vertical pleat fabric, with a V-neckline and short puffed sleeves gathered at the cuff. A drawstring ties in at the empire waist, then the pleat opens into a full A-line through to the midi hem. The vertical pleat holds its form through the day and returns to shape without ironing. Wear it with the drawstring pulled in or left loose, from morning through evening.
