Ainslie | Formal Maxi Dress With High Slit
Free shipping Australia-wide · 30-day returns · Dispatched in 1–2 business days
Meet Ainslie, a formal maxi dress built on clean, sculpted lines. A square neckline and wide shoulder straps frame the top, gathered ruching cinches the waist, and a thigh-high slit opens into a soft draped cascade that falls all the way to the floor. That flowing side drape is what sets it apart, adding movement to an otherwise sleek, close-fitting shape.
The fitted bodice follows your shape through the waist and hips before the skirt lengthens into a floor-grazing column, so it feels polished from every angle. It suits anyone who loves understated glamour over fuss. Wear it as a black tie dress, a gala dress for a charity evening, a wedding guest look or an elegant pick for Christmas parties and end-of-year celebrations. With a palette that runs from classic black and rich claret to chocolate brown and soft apricot, it's easy to find a shade that feels like you.
