Style Tips

Sew CLOVER in lightweight linen or poplin for a fresh and relaxed summer look, or choose viscose or crepe for a softer and more fluid silhouette. Silk satin or another lightweight lining fabric can be used for a refined interior finish.

The feminine halter neckline, plunging V-neckline, fitted bodice, open back, and slightly flared mini skirt create a distinctive silhouette that works beautifully for summer occasions, holidays, evening outings, and modern handmade wardrobes.

The backless design is the defining feature of CLOVER, while the invisible center-back zipper keeps the finish clean and discreet. The fully lined construction also gives the dress a polished, professional appearance.
