How To Wear A Dramatic Green Maxi Gown

Wednesday, December 21, 2011 • by Karla Manlangit

There are so many new maxi dresses on Shopbop– we are absolutely in love! And they’re totally holiday-perfect, something you would need just a few days before Christmas! Here’s one cool gown, a sight in creme-de-menthe print jersey that exudes sophistication with a bit of whimsy and sensuality.

Elizabete Link Print Hostess Gown, $425, Milly

Made out of slubbed jersey, this Milly maxi dress is more like an evening gown in its design. It features a black circle pattern against an aqua background which is both playful and tasteful.

Its high scoop neck provides a lovely base for the neck and slims down slightly haltered into the ruched bodice. We especially love the dramatic back which provides a slim, single-button key hole. Additional button details are on its hidden back zipper.

This floor-length maxi dress also comes in a cherry-colored alternative which is also perfect for holiday celebrations and gatherings. A dress like this hardly needs accessorizing so simple black flats to match the pattern will do for footwear. Jewelry should be gold, and concentrated on rings and bangles, and a striking pair of earrings.
