Etta by Tina Valerdi

Etta ends above the ankle, the way a registry-office gown does. The neckline runs level across the bust with nothing cut into it, and the sleeves run the length of the arm to the wrist. The crepe is matt and fluid, and it follows the body closely. The hem stops above the ankle, so the shoes are part of the outfit, and the back fastens with buttons down the spine, which is the side the ceremony sees.
