Bold • Sculptural • Made for a Moment
A navy and rust patchwork floral maxi dress with an open waist cutout at the back, flutter sleeves, and an unbalanced, flowing skirt.
The Hinoki Journal
This one shares its print with a piece we love, dense floral patchwork in navy and rust, but takes the silhouette somewhere more dramatic. A cutout opens at the waist in back, and the skirt falls unevenly from there, gathering fuller on one side for a shape that moves with real intention rather than hanging flat.
Fit Notes
A round neckline leads into flutter sleeves that flare gently at the elbow. The waist cutout sits just above the small of the back, and the skirt gathers into an unbalanced, flowing shape that falls to a maxi length. Best fit close through the bodice with room to move through the skirt.
Why It Found Its Way to Hinoki
We do not see a waist cutout done this thoughtfully very often, it reads as elegant rather than exposed, and the unbalanced skirt gives the whole dress a sense of motion. This is the pick for a dress that needs to do some real work at an event.
Features
- Navy and rust patchwork floral print
- Round neckline with flutter sleeves
- Open waist cutout at the back
- Unbalanced, gathered skirt
- Maxi length
- Not lined
- 100% polyester
✦ Amy's Styling Tip
Keep the back the focus, an updo or low bun shows off the cutout, and simple strappy sandals let the skirt do the moving.
Hinoki Care Suggestions
Machine wash cold on gentle, hang to dry. Warm iron as needed.
