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 Garance Dress embodies refined tailoring and feminine grace; crafted in breathable Pima cotton poplin with a fitted bodice and scalloped dropped waist. Its gathered tea-length skirt and sleeveless design allow for fluid movement and effortless layering. Thoughtfully finished with side pockets and an invisible back zipper; it's perfect for an evening soirée or daytime celebration; and pairs beautifully with the MYLENE Bag; either carried or worn on the waist.
