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 Celeste Dress blends artistry and ease; crafted in airy Pima cotton lawn with a hand-smocked yoke and elasticated waist for a flattering silhouette. Long sleeves with elastic cuffs and a delicate ruffle at the encased neckline enhance its refined; effortless wear. Fully lined at the skirt; it pairs beautifully with the MYLENE Bag for an elevated ensemble.
