Founded in 2016 by designer Marina Cortbawi; Brooklyn-based Merlette thoughtfully crafts its garments from all natural; high-quality materials (cotton; wools and silks) with bespoke finishes — perfect for building a timeless wardrobe. Effortless and breezy; the 'Cadere' dress—rendered in lightweight 100% cotton voile—fuses romantic details with modern sensibilities. The raw-edged ruffled yoke and tiered skirt lend movement and dimension; while short sleeves and a mini length keep the look fresh. Trocus shell buttons punctuate the bodice; and an elastic waistband ensures a flattering; comfortable fit.
