The Melanie Dress is a fitted, midi-length silhouette with princess seams, a soft racerback neckline, and four dramatic godet panels that add movement and drape to the skirt. The fitted bodice flows into a skirt with just the right amount of drama — the four godet panels open up gradually as you walk, giving the dress an easy elegance whether you're at a summer wedding, an anniversary dinner, or just out for a long evening walk.
