Essentiel Antwerp Vazongas Asymmetrical Dress, Red

Polka dots and ruffles are the two things most labels use to make a dress sweet. Essentiel Antwerp used both and chose red, which takes the sweetness straight back out.

The Vazongas is a ruffled midi in a light cloth that moves, cut asymmetric and printed all over in dots. Essentiel Antwerp is an Antwerp label with a lighter hand than most Belgian design. This is the dress that shows it.

It is from a past season and it has been reduced. It was bought for a woman who does not need to explain what she is wearing. That reason still holds. One remains, a European 34, which is an AU 6.

At a long table set outside, the person who arrives late walks the full length of it to find a seat. In this red, everyone at the far end sees her coming from the gate.
