This artful dress is done in a double layer of Porto's signature stretch twill, making it quite a substantial piece. It has a scoop neckline, with wider shoulder straps and a slimmer A-line silhouette. At one hip, a pie-shaped inset of tightly pleated nylon ruffles adds a couture-like vibe to the piece. We're showing it over a crisp white shirt, but we also love it layered over a mesh tee shirt or under a jacket -- or even all by itself! Running a bit on the small side.
