Aphrodite midi is a classic wrap dress with a flattering neckline, puffy balloon sleeves that are elasticated at the cuff, and a romantic, gently gathered skirt.

The skirt falls from waist to mid-shin but can be hemmed to whatever length you prefer. This dress has no zipper or lining, which makes for a quicker and easier sewing process.
