Calista | Pleated Ruffle Sleeve Maxi Dress – Twist Waist Formal Wedding Guest Gown

This women's pleated maxi dress features a boat neckline with short double-layered ruffle sleeves and a fine vertical pleat running across the full bodice from the neckline to the natural waist. The natural waist is defined by a twisted fabric band that wraps and knots at the centre front, creating a gathered waist detail before the skirt releases below. The skirt falls from the twisted waist band in a full, sweeping A-line of fine vertical pleats to a floor-length hem with a slight trailing sweep. Suited for formal evening events, wedding guest occasions, and black-tie gatherings. The fine vertical pleat runs continuously from the boat neckline through the bodice and into the full A-line skirt to the floor-length hem.

Key Features:

• Neckline: Boat neck with short double-layered ruffle sleeves on each shoulder
• Bodice: Fine vertical pleated bodice with twisted fabric knot band at natural waist
