Classy and versatile all year round
The DELANO dress has everything I am looking for in a garment : comfort, style and uniqueness. Whatever its length – dress or blouse – the open neckline and the subtle gathers will enhance your cleavage and bust. The large puffy sleeves adds up to the oversized shape of the dress.

- A long dress variation (midi) for spring/summer
Short sleeves and pockets are also available.
