The Aylin Dress is a sleek, architectural wrap dress and vest rooted in 90s minimalism. Shaped by princess seams and a Dior dart at the bust, it features a deep V neckline, square-cut armholes, and practical angled pockets integrated into the side panel. Endlessly versatile, wear it on its own or layered over your favourite tees and turtlenecks for a year-round wardrobe staple that transitions seamlessly from season to season.
- View A is a midi-length dress with pockets and an angled front panel hem ending at mid-calf.
- View B is a mini-length dress ending at mid-thigh.
- Both dresses can be finished with an all-in-one facing or floating lining, secured with a narrow tie at the waist.
- View C is a chic vest ending at the high hip. Fully lined, it can be secured with a D-ring closure or fabric tie closure.
