Cinque Terre dress




Traveling along the rocky western coast of Italy, the water of the Mediterranean takes on a deep, translucent turquoise hue and the warm sun bakes the gardens of the ancient terraced houses. The Cinque Terre dress (named after the "Five Lands" of the Italian Mediterranean) was inspired by the remarkable colors of this gorgeous terrain and the effortless elegance of the women I saw sipping wine at sunset at the outdoor cafes. Absolutely gorgeous! The soft cotton jersey of the Cinque Terre dress drapes beautifully and is luxuriously comfortable, while the scoop neck and racer back display just enough sun-kissed skin. The handmade flowers adorning the bodice are accented with delicate mulberry-shaped glass buttons backed with hints of gold leaf--the perfect detail to add just a hint of sparkle. For ease and comfort in sultry summer weather, the Cinque Terre dress is also fitted with a built-in shelf bra.

This dress is my own original design. Enjoy!
