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. The Lilou Dress features refined asymmetry in soft cotton jersey that moves effortlessly with the wearer. This tea-length silhouette has a dropped waist; an off-shoulder neckline with delicate cap sleeves; and a lined bodice for subtle structure. Finished with an invisible side zipper; it's perfect to pair back with flats for daytime or a kitten heel for night.
