Grimani Greek Olive Green Maxi Dress (NWT)

This elegant and stylish number is an absolute must for the suitcase if you’re heading to the Mediterranean this year! Imagine wearing this dress, walking around traditional, narrow cobbled streets lined with white-washed buildings as you explore local markets, sip Greek coffee at a local cafe and dine in a Greek taverna. This dress is comfortable and easy to wear, and the lightweight, airy and breathable fabric will keep you cool. It will look great with a pair of brown or metallic flats for a more casual look; gladiator sandals for a more Grecian look; or canvas wedges or metallic gladiator heels for more formal, dressy occasions. The traditional olive green colour is complemented by a Grecian-style pattern of gold-embellished embroidery around the waist at the front and double golden meander lace straps with subtle gold braided tie-up straps at the back. A Mediterranean classic, this unique number makes for a stunning Greek goddess maxi dress! Made with love from Greece, using 100% cotton, Grimani has specialized in 'Greek cotton creations' for over 45 years. They're one of the biggest woven garment producers in the country and use gauze (aka "cheesecloth") - a soft, thin, loose-woven fabric - to achieve a range of authentic Greek fashion styles. This beautiful dress was a gift but, sadly, my rather pear-shaped and slightly boxy physique forbids me from wearing maxi dresses. However, it will be incredibly flattering for the right body shape, such as hourglass, rectangle, inverted triangle, curvy or even long and slender. As it’s a stretchy fabric, it is considered to be 'one size' and will fit various body types. Size: Universal fit (Original price: approximately $70)
