Sculpted Grace, Timeless Elegance

The Alyssa Pleated Drape Maxi Dress features a clean bateau neckline, dramatic cape-style sleeves that fall in a graceful open drape from shoulder to hem, and a deeply ruched, gathered waist that fans out into a fluid, floor-grazing skirt — available in soft blush peach, classic black, and deep navy, each feeling like a completely different occasion in the same silhouette. It's the dress you reach for when the occasion demands something genuinely stunning — a wedding, a gala, a formal dinner, or any evening where you want to walk in and feel completely, effortlessly poised. The lightweight, softly draped fabric flows and moves with every step, the pleated gathering at the waist creating a figure-contouring shape that flatters without ever constraining.

 

Why You'll Love It

  • Dramatic Cape-Sleeve Silhouette: Open, flowing cape sleeves drape elegantly from the shoulders to the floor, creating a sweeping, sculptural frame that makes this dress as breathtaking from the side as it is from the front.
  • Deeply Ruched Gathered Waist: Radiating pleats gather dramatically at the waist and fan outward through the skirt, creating a beautifully contoured shape that defines the figure with soft, artful structure rather than stiffness.
  • Clean Bateau Neckline: The elegant bateau neckline keeps the look refined and timeless at the top, perfectly balancing the drama of the cape sleeves and gathered skirt beneath it.
  • Three Colorways & Formal Occasion Versatility: Blush peach, classic black, and deep navy each carry a completely different mood — style any colorway with strappy heeled sandals, a clutch, and simple drop earrings for a wedding, gala, or elevated evening event.

  • Material: Lightweight, softly draped fabric with fluid movement
  • Fit: Figure-contouring gathered waist; fluid floor-grazing maxi skirt
  • Detail: Bateau neckline; open cape-style draped sleeves; deeply ruched radiating pleats at waist

13 YEARS OF MELBOURNE FEMME

Hi, I’m Sarah Mitchell.

ㅤ

Thirtheen years ago, something special happened in my life.I opened Melbourne femme here in Melbourne.

I’d already spent years working in women’s fashion, and having a boutique of my own had been on my mind for a long time. In 2013, I finally decided to do it.

ㅤ

Since then, Melbourne femme has grown with me. What started as a small boutique has become something I’m incredibly proud of, thanks to the women who keep coming back, ordering from us and recommending us to their friends.

ㅤ

So for our 13th anniversary, we’re taking up to 70% off selected pieces, with free Australia-wide shipping throughout the celebration.

ㅤ

Thank you for being part of our story. 🤍

ㅤ

With love,
Sarah Mitchell
