Cassia | Mesh Midi Dress

A sleeveless mesh ruched dress with an asymmetric hem that opens at the front thigh and cascades in layered ruffles to below the knee at the back and sides. The ruching gathers the mesh diagonally across the bodice and hip on one side — drawn in from the shoulder down toward the opposite hip — creating a twisted, sculpted surface that shapes the fitted silhouette without boning. The mesh fabric is semi-sheer with a lining beneath, providing coverage through the bodice and upper skirt while the ruffle hem layers hang freely.

The crew neckline is clean and close at the throat, and the armholes are wide with no sleeve. The silhouette is bodycon from neckline to the ruffle breakpoint at the upper thigh — fitted through the chest, waist, and hip with the mesh stretch doing the fitting work. The ruffle tiers at the hem are cut from the same mesh and sit in multiple overlapping layers, adding volume and movement at the lower half against the fitted upper body.

Wear with pointed heeled courts or strappy heeled sandals for a cocktail or party occasion. Pair with heeled ankle boots for a going-out version that keeps the asymmetric hem visible. Keep jewellery minimal — drop earrings and a simple chain work well against the crew neckline and bare arms.
