Stretch Taffeta Fit & Flare Dress with Lapel Collar
The dress that makes a wedding, a gala, a formal dinner, or any occasion that deserves a completely intentional entrance look like the most effortlessly considered, genuinely editorial moment you’ve ever put together — Joseph Ribkoff’s Stretch Taffeta Fit & Flare Dress with Lapel Collar in Midnight Navy is a 3/4-sleeve fit-and-flare midi dress in a beautifully sculpted stretch taffeta with a subtle sheen that catches the light magnificently from every angle. The extraordinary standout detail: a dramatic, wide structured double lapel collar with an internal wire that holds its beautiful architectural shape perfectly — framing the neckline and décolletage with a completely intentional, genuinely editorial portrait-collar quality that elevates this from a beautiful occasion dress to a genuinely statement, completely considered luxury piece. A center front invisible zip closure with a rhinestone zipper pull adds a refined, completely intentional finishing touch. A self-tie waist sash cinches the silhouette into an effortlessly flattering hourglass shape. 3/4-length sleeves with clean cuffed hems and subtle side slits. A beautifully full pleated skirt that falls to below-the-knee midi length with extraordinary volume and fluid movement. Two side pockets. Unlined. Midnight Navy. Sizes 2–22. By Joseph Ribkoff.
