Baruni

Women's Pink Loretta Gown: Lapel Collar Jacquard Maxi With Detachable Sleeves

A floor length shirt gown in a jacquard woven exclusively for Baruni, with a jacket lapel collar and a tie at the waist. The sleeves lift off, so one gown gives you two looks: covered and formal with them on, clean and sleeveless with them off. Lined throughout in soft rayon. How do the sleeves come off? They detach at the shoulder, so the gown changes in a few seconds. Sleeves on for a daytime wedding or anywhere you want your arms covered. Sleeves off for an evening event. You are buying one gown and wearing two. What does a jacket lapel do on a gown? It gives the top half the structure of tailoring rather than the softness of a dress. The lapel holds its shape, so the shoulder line stays clean whether the sleeves are on or off, which is what stops the sleeveless version looking unfinished. What is the jacquard, and why does it matter? Jacquard is a pattern woven into the cloth rather than printed on top of it. The design is part of the fabric, so it holds its depth after wear and does not flatten or fade the way a print can. This jacquard was made for Baruni and is not used by anyone else. Does the tie come off? Yes. It ties at the waist rather than being stitched in, so you can wear the gown shaped at the waist or leave the tie off and let it fall straight. How much do the sleeves cover? To just below the elbow. The sleeve measures 40 cm on a size S, so it covers the upper arm and the elbow and leaves the forearm free. Is it comfortable to wear all evening? It is lined throughout in soft rayon, so nothing in the weave touches your skin, and the tie means nothing is fitted unless you choose it to be. What are the measurements? The model is 172 cm and wears a size S: bust 95 cm, waist 75 cm, hips 105 cm, shoulder to hem 152 cm, sleeve 40 cm. Where can I wear it? Weddings, formal dinners and evening celebrations. Two other pieces also change shape: the Divine Dress has detachable sleeves in a metallic effect fabric, and the Nagia Dress has them in a full length jacquard.
