The Mahal Dress is an effortlessly loose and floaty midi dress with softly gathered side panels that create beautiful movement as you walk. The square neckline and inset sleeves give the shape a clean, elegant feel, while gathered cuffs echo the volume through the body for a thoughtful, balanced silhouette. A cleverly integrated through-pocket sits within the front panel seams, and the dress slips easily on over the head with no zip required.

This style works beautifully in lightweight fabrics with plenty of drape such as cotton, viscose, rayon or lightweight linen. It can be sewn in a single fabric for a more minimal look, or combined in two fabrics to highlight the panel details and shape.
