The Maxi Dress

Project Concept
CONCEPT
A floor-length maxi dress that bears a keyhole pocket — a quiet symbol of both imprisonment and hope. Keyholes invite you to look inside, to witness what lies beyond the barrier. The tiered fringe hem cascades like a waterfall, an abundance of movement against stillness. Tree branch embroidery climbs one side of the dress: roots reaching through restricted soil.
Garment Details
Strapless maxi dress in coral orange. Textured boucle fabric with keyhole-shaped front pocket. Full-length branch embroidery in dark olive thread along one side seam. Tiered double-fringe hem in rust and coral. Wide strap shoulders with crochet detail.
