Colla Voce Dress “B&W Swirl”
Regular price $388.00You'll love the plunging v-neck of this gorgeous kaftan style dress with a beautiful full skirt and shirred elasticized waist and crescent moon shaped dolman sleeves. We significantly changed the design of the original design this dress was based on to fit a variety of sizes and lengthened the sleeve to be worn below the elbow or pulled up creating a short puff sleeve look giving it greater versatility and wearability for all seasons. Pop it on with your denim jacket, fluffy faux furries, Parisian coats and more in cold weather or wear it as is in hot temps. You’ll love the v-neck front and back that allows this dress to be worn by so many different shapes and sizes. We’ve fully lined this gorgeous dress making it a perfect all season dress. She’s a timeless new icon you can col canto… colla voce!
