{"product_id":"the-solana-dress","title":"The Solana Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlain cream to the hip, and then it happens all at once — a great baroque scroll\u003cbr\u003erising out of the hem in turquoise and chartreuse, over a solid band of chocolate\u003cbr\u003eat the floor. The neckline and both armholes are drawn in the same chocolate, a\u003cbr\u003efine line holding the whole thing together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waist sits low, at your hip, and that's the design rather than an accident.\u003cbr\u003eLowering the point where the skirt begins is what lengthens a torso — the effect\u003cbr\u003eis built into the cut, so you don't have to do anything to get it. And if the\u003cbr\u003ephrase \"dropped waist\" summons something from a hundred years ago, that version\u003cbr\u003eis long gone: this is the silhouette that turned up everywhere this year, all\u003cbr\u003eclean lines and architecture. Honest note, though — a straight dropped seam\u003cbr\u003ecrosses the hip rather than curving down and in, so it does its best work on a\u003cbr\u003elonger frame, and it isn't a shape that cinches. It elongates instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp top it's deliberately spare. A high round neck and high-cut armholes, both\u003cbr\u003ebound in chocolate, over a bodice that runs smooth all the way down. It's a\u003cbr\u003ecovered, polished neckline — the sort that suits a long neck and a taller frame\u003cbr\u003eand looks best in something minimal, which is precisely what the cream is doing\u003cbr\u003ebefore the print arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen the skirt gathers and goes, full enough to swing properly when you walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a cream this pale, wear something nude underneath and take thirty seconds by a\u003cbr\u003ewindow before you leave.
