It feels like Carmen's Habanera, though Bizet would have preferred his association with more glitz. Nonetheless, this crochet cut-out maxi made me feel ethereal with every little detail.

To be frank, I did not think much of this piece when I first saw the photos that Eternity Loft sent to me as a preview. The palette of colors were delicious, though. I shuffled between the white and black before deciding on my default color. It has been a while since I last advocated a black dress, though I wear them every other day.

I gushed upon putting on this maxi dress for the first time. The cut is so very flattering, snugging my body at the right places to accentuate curves. The thick straps give an illusion of a straighter shoulder and a sharper collarbone, and the soft chiffon flows so gracefully as I walk. And if you could pay a little attention to the crochet details, you would see how they give such a feminine touch to the maxi. How delicate.

Maybe you don't know, but I am actually quite weary about donning maxi dresses. For one, I am short. And maxi dresses tend to overwhelm my frame, and make me look a lot fatter than I already am. But this piece is a score and if any, it is elongating. I am sure you can tell from every photo. Short girls like me, rejoice!

You would be glad to know that this maxi dress will be available in black, white and indigo.
