{"product_id":"daphne-asymmetric-ruched-maxi-dress","title":"Daphne Asymmetric Ruched Maxi Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Daphne is a burgundy ruched maxi dress built around a single off-center twist at the waist, knotted through a polished gold-tone teardrop. The neckline is a boat neck, wide and shallow along the collarbones, with the drape gathered on one shoulder only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt clings gently through the bust, waist and hips, then releases from mid-thigh into a soft flute that reaches the floor. The ruching radiates diagonally out of the knot, up across one side of the ribcage and down toward the opposite hip, and a curved seam carries that same line across the skirt front. The sleeves are long, close along the arm, with a slight bell at the cuff. It is a fine, matte knit with a fluid drape, so it moves with you rather than holding its own shape. Wear it with a heel for an evening, and keep jewelry quiet so the waist hardware leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAsymmetric waist knot\u003c\/strong\u003e — twisted off-center to the right and cinched through a polished gold-tone teardrop ornament, with the gathers doing the shaping rather than a belt or elastic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne draped shoulder\u003c\/strong\u003e — the left shoulder carries a cluster of gathered pleats that wraps toward the back, while the right shoulder stays flat and plain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoat neckline, front and back\u003c\/strong\u003e — it sits wide along the collarbones and carries around as a shallow scoop at upper shoulder-blade height.

Bust and waist figures are garment-flat, measured with the knit relaxed rather than around the body: 86 cm bust and 76 cm waist on S, 88 cm and 78 cm on M, 90 cm and 80 cm on L, with a total length of 135 cm to 137 cm across those three. XL follows the same progression at 92 cm bust and 82 cm waist, with a total length of 138 cm. The knit stretches over the body from there, so take your usual size instead of sizing up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it fasten?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt pulls on over the head. There is no zip and no buttons, front or back. That works because the knit stretches: it opens up to go on, then settles back to the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it see-through, and is it lined?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is opaque all over, including in strong light, and it is a single unlined layer. The knit is fine and close-fitting, so underwear lines will read through. A smooth, seamless bra is the honest recommendation. The neckline is closed and high front and back, though it is wide, so a strap can peek at the outer edge of the plain shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is it, and is there a slit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFloor-length. The hem breaks on the floor over a heeled shoe and sits slightly longer at the back. There is no slit. The diagonal line across the skirt front is a seam, part of the ruching, not an opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the gold piece at the waist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA polished gold-tone teardrop ornament. The waist is knotted through it, so it holds the twist in place off-center to the right and finishes the front of the dress. It is decorative hardware, not a fastening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arvellis","offers":[{"title":"Burgundy \/ S","offer_id":43651500245082,"sku":"ARV-DAP-BUR-S","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Burgundy \/ M","offer_id":43651500277850,"sku":"ARV-DAP-BUR-M","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Burgundy \/ L","offer_id":43651500310618,"sku":"ARV-DAP-BUR-L","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Burgundy \/ XL","offer_id":43921920917594,"sku":"ARV-DAP-BUR-XL","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/1814\/7162\/files\/daphne-asymmetric-ruched-maxi-dress-1.jpg?v=1787828246","url":"https:\/\/www.arvellis.co\/en-au\/products\/daphne-asymmetric-ruched-maxi-dress","provider":"Arvellis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
