About this design
The Seme short dress has everything a great summer dress needs: a square neckline that shows off the neck and collarbones, gathered cap sleeves that soften the shoulders, and a flared skirt that stops above the knee. It moves easily from day to evening. Turquoise wax gives it a holiday mood, while red star wax makes it more festive.
With a short dress, a few centimetres matter: skirt length, neckline height and bodice fit decide whether you feel at ease. With made to measure, you get a dress cut to your exact measurements that stays in place when you move. A Douala tailor sews it, then KOUTIVA checks the quality before delivering it to you.
Styling tips
- Show off the square neckline with a short necklace.
- Flat sandals by day, heeled sandals at night.
- Add a thin belt to define the waist.
- With a very colourful wax, keep accessories in one colour taken from the print.
Choosing your fabric
Turquoise wax and blue geometric wax feel fresh for daytime and holidays; red star wax and fuchsia and green wax are made for birthdays and evenings.
