Description

A floor-length maxi dress with a high slit that brings movement and ease to a fluid column shape. Made in Italy by Motel from soft 100% viscose, it drapes lightly over the body and moves with you — a dress built for warm Sarasota evenings, from a waterfront dinner to a summer wedding.

Fabric & feel

Cut from 100% viscose, the fabric is breathable, soft and gently fluid, falling in a smooth line rather than holding structure. The slit keeps the long length cool and easy to walk in.

Fit & sizing

Offered in size S. The dress falls to a full maxi length with a slit to the thigh; the silhouette is relaxed through the body with definition at the waist.

How to wear it

Let the dress lead: add minimal heeled sandals and a small bag for evening, or flats and a straw tote by day. A light jacket layers over the top when it cools. Browse more in dresses and our what to wear in Sarasota this summer guide.

Care

Care is simple but worth getting right. Hand-wash in cool water or run a gentle, low-spin machine cycle inside a mesh laundry bag, using a mild detergent and skipping the bleach. Viscose loses strength when wet, so lift it out without wringing or twisting, then reshape and dry flat in the shade — direct Florida sun can fade the colour. Press on a low, cool iron if needed, or simply steam to bring the drape back between wears. Cared for this way, this Italian-made piece keeps its hand and colour season after season.
