This strapless maxi dress combines a gathered upper section with stacked ruffle tiers, creating a long column silhouette punctuated by repeated horizontal layers from bodice to hem.

Strapless Upper Edge

The straight neckline leaves the shoulders open and begins a gathered bodice that extends to the first broad ruffle around the waist.

Layered Ruffle Tiers

Wide ruffles circle the upper body, waist, knees, and lower skirt, repeating horizontal volume at several points along the dress.

Full-Length Column

Between the ruffle sections, the skirt follows a close vertical line before opening into multiple lower tiers near the floor.
