Farm Rio Flowerful Birds Off-White Sleeveless Midi Dress, style 317655, size M

Look at the edge. Every single inch of it is scalloped. Farm Rio's "Flowerful Birds" in off-white — cobalt flowers, leaves and little birds painted across cream, loose and hand-drawn, the Brazilian label's usual riot of color turned down to two. The petal trim runs the whole length: up the straps, around the sweetheart bust, along the empire seam, down both side pockets, and all the way around the tiered hem. Small openwork gaps at the waist keep the bodice light. Size M, sleeveless, midi, with pockets. Retail $285. Garden parties, showers, resort weeks, the summer wedding where the invitation said festive.
