Simone Maxi Dress

Brown belongs in the fall dresses conversation more often than it gets invited, and the Simone is the argument for it. Ruching gathers the body so a long cut has something to hold onto through the middle.

The color runs deep enough for evening and stays clean enough for daylight, which is a lot to ask of one piece. That gathered finish also forgives a heavy lunch, though nobody puts it on a label.

This is the one that keeps getting worn.
