This striking maxi-length mermaid fishtail dress blends a bold, geometric aesthetic with a highly textured, form-fitting silhouette. Craftsmanship details point toward an African wax print (Ankara) or a batik-style printed cotton fabric.
Below the knee, the dress flares out dramatically into a voluminous, gathered fishtail skirt. This creates a beautiful contrast between the structured, tight fit of the body and the fluid, sweeping motion of the lower hem.
Off-the-Shoulder Neckline: The straight, elasticized neckline is designed to sit comfortably across or just below the shoulders, showcasing the collarbone.
Statement Bell Sleeves: The three-quarter-length sleeves feature a fitted upper arm that mirrors the smocked bodice, releasing at the elbow into a wide, dramatic bell or statement flare that echoes the energy of the fishtail skirt.
