Paloma is the perfect dress for summer days—light, breezy, and showing just the right amount of skin. With its lined bodice, it’s designed to be worn without a bra. The lining provides both support and coverage. Paloma strikes the perfect balance between retro charm and romantic elegance, featuring a gathered neckline, an empire waist highlighted with ladder trim, and a subtle side slit.
Specifically created for motivated beginners, this dress requires no zippers or buttons. It simply slips on over the head.
