Maya is a super feminine A-line dress with a round neckline that hugs your body. The short sleeves and their pleat design creates volume and interest. But there are so many possibilities with these sleeves - really! For instance, you could leave the pleat allowance on the inside (= subtle volume), feature the pleat allowance on the outside (= genuine statement sleeves), or go for a combination of the two (= a playful effect). Maya has an invisible zip at the back. Lengthening and shortening this dress is a breeze.

Fabric suggestions 

The sturdy texture of cotton twill or denim will add structure to this clean, minimalist look. Prefer poplin, linen, or Tencel? Go for it! We do not recommend very thin or fluid fabrics as the effect of the pleats will be lost.
