Long jersey mother of the bride dress with crystal embellishment and slit skirt

A long, very fitted dress in fluid jersey. The crossover V-neckline sits above bodice pleats running from the shoulder to meet at the waist. The short puffed sleeves are gathered at the shoulder seam for a small rounded volume, then caught above the elbow.

A belt embroidered with pearls and crystals runs all round the waist. Below it, the skirt is draped on the bias: the pleats meet at the left hip and run diagonally down the front, before opening with a centre slit up to mid-thigh.

The back stays smooth, with a round neckline and the embroidered belt continuing to the fastening.

Ideal for wedding guests and the mother of the bride. Offered in fir green. Offered in French sizes 32 to 56, UK 4 to 28. An Ellebeline design from Paris, available from partner boutiques across Europe.
