Design Details and Benefits
- Self-tie front closure - no hidden hook to fumble with, and no fixed size point
- Pleating through the skirt - gives it natural swing when you move, not a stiff A-line
The tie-front top is doing more work than it looks like at first glance. Instead of a fixed neckline that's either right or wrong for your shape, you knot it where it sits best on you, which is the difference between a costume that feels borrowed and one that feels like yours for the night. The plaid skirt underneath is fully pleated rather than gathered at the waistband alone, so it holds its shape through movement instead of going limp by the second hour. Worth knowing before you order: the top ties rather than fastens, so it needs a firm knot to stay put through an active evening.
