Mela Purdie Atrium Dress Mache
Description
There’s something wonderfully simple about a dress you can put on and instantly feel pulled together in. The Atrium Dress is crafted from Mela Purdie's signature Japanese Mache, allowing the full skirt to fall and move beautifully without feeling heavy. A crisp shirt collar and button placket add structure through the top, while clever seam detailing creates shape before flowing into the generous skirt.
