Long Estrella Dress, Forest Ombre

An in-store favorite brand for event dressing and office wear, Alquema specializes in pieces done in a silky, micro-pleated woven fabric that travels well and creates a shapely, nonclingy silhouette. Estrella is sleeveless and has a scoop neckline and a fit-and-flare shape. The fabric ombres from a forest green at the bodice to a pale celery at the hemline.
