The Porcellana Mini Dress

The Porcellana Mini Dress takes its name from Italian porcelain: cobalt roses painted across a white ground, the kind of print you find on a hand-glazed plate in a Positano kitchen. The strapless corset bodice is shaped with visible boning seams that draw the eye up to the neckline, then meets a drop waist and a full bubble skirt that holds its volume all evening.

It is a dress for an afternoon wedding on a terrace, a bridal shower, a birthday dinner or a garden party, anywhere a little sculpture and a lot of print are welcome.

VIVIAN’S STYLING NOTE

“Let the print do the talking. Silver strappy sandals, a small pearl or silver clutch, and nothing at the neck. If the evening turns cool, a white cropped jacket keeps the blue and white story going.”
