The Forsythe Dress is a relaxed-fit dress featuring practical hip-yoke pockets and a slightly dropped waistline. The short kimono sleeves are finished with narrow cuffs that can be turned up or left unfolded, depending on your preference. Curved panel lines gently shape the bodice, while a button closure at the back adds a classic finishing detail. Its breezy silhouette makes it a perfect summertime staple, while the boxy bodice also makes it ideal for comfortable layering over a turtleneck and stockings in cooler months.
