We’d recognise a slim belted dress by Max Mara from a mile away, but we’re not so used to the free flowing shape of the Marte. No complaints here; it’s spun from pure silk, so you can bet that along with such a relaxed fit, it’s ultra soft too. The flattering features continue through the sides, where a draped panel falls to the asymmetric knee length hem. Don’t overcomplicate things with jewellery – all you need is backless mules.Max Mara silk crepe dressConcealed zip fastening at backRound neck, long sleeves, loose fit, satin panels at front, draped detail at side, fully lined100% cottonDry cleanTrue to sizeSize 8: Length 37"Model is 5ft 10" and wears a size 8
