BCBGMAXAZRIA (New York) Accordion Pleated Dress

Both flirtatious and sophisticated, this swingy BCBGMaxAzria dress with petite accordion pleats also features optically alluring colourblocking. Drawstring ties at the shoulders and waist further give the dress a vintagey ’70s appeal. Good for both a professional setting (especially with a blazer) or a leisure one, you’ll get plenty of use out of this sweet piece.

(RRP US$238)
