DORA | GINGHAM MAXI DRESS black holding shape through the nightMeet the Dora, a gingham design in champagne with the shoulders left bare. The check is fine rather than picnic loud, and the warm neutral keeps it from reading as summer only, which is where most of the pattern goes wrong. The two things to know: a champagne tone that flatters against skin, and an off the shoulder line with no third idea competing. This is the one for the night you have been thinking about.
