The Syli dress is a relaxed everyday garment with a loose fit. It features a gathered bodice, a shallow tuck across the chest, and a calf-length hemline that dips slightly longer in the back. The neckline is finished with binding with a back vent secured by ties. The dress has two deep tucks around the hemline of both the skirt and sleeves as well as in-seam side pockets. The ¾-length sleeves have gathered ends finished with binding and ties.
