TIE-STRAP MIDI DRESS - The Coronation of the Virgin, 1324

NOTE:  THIS DRESS RUNS SMALL, SO CHECK THE SIZE CHART TO ENSURE THE PROPER FIT.

This classy midi dress draws inspiration from the Byzantine masterpiece "The Coronation of the Virgin" that was painted in the year 1324, translating medieval artistic grandeur into contemporary fashion.

The tie-strap silhouette offers both elegance and adjustability, while the design echoes the rich symbolism and ornate aesthetics of Byzantine iconography.  Floaty, flirty, and totally flattering—from daytime garden parties to dinner dates. This midi dress features a breezy side slit, adjustable tie straps, and a built-in bra for no-fuss style.

The original Byzantine era Masterpiece, "The Coronation of the Virgin," was painted in the year 1324 by an artist known as "Master of the Washington Coronation."  This Masterpiece presently is on view at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
