A dead-simple slip dress, the Ella is cut so that the double scoop neckline is flattering but still modest, it is high enough in the back to cover bra straps, and it hangs well on many different shapes and sizes. The slimmer but not-at-all-insubstantial straps give a delicate feel to the dress without sacrificing stability on the shoulder or the utilitarian feel of a wider strap. Slightly trapeze in shape, it floats deliciously around the body without overwhelming. Hitting around mid-calf, this piece is extremely elegant on its own with statement jewelry but also very well suited for layering. Under a sweater or blazer, this dress can be a real workhorse. The Ella reminds me of quintessential 90s style, interesting and simple at the same time.
