Make the most of your vacation and enjoy the carefree nature of summer with this light and ultra- feminine empire-waist dress, paired with a short, structured jacket featuring soft, delicate details.

The empire cut of the dress gently hugs curves with elegance, while the tied back adds an original twist. The piece is perfect for those warm, sunny days. We love the polka dot print that's both retro and timeless.

Complete this summer look with the short jacket in a soft salmon-orange hue: it enhances the dress without overshadowing it, adding an extra touch of femininity.

Got some leftover fabric from either piece? Turn it into a charming hair bow, a lovely alternative to the classic hair tie!

A dress that's flattering, airy, and unmistakably summery.

With its bowtie at the back neckline, this dress brings a hint of glamour and subtle originality. Made from lightweight crepe, it flows gracefully with every step—perfect for vacation strolls along the harbor or relaxing under a shaded terrace.

The delicate butterfly sleeves add lightness to the shoulders, while the empire waist flatters all bust sizes—even smaller ones—with a refined, graceful neckline.

Its ultra-feminine midi length elongates the figure without breaking the silhouette, no matter your height. Whether paired with mules or heels, it's ready for all your summer adventures!

At Burda Style, no detail is overlooked!

It's impossible to resist this short jacket, from its sleeve design to its length!

Chic and sophisticated, it charms with its double-breasted closure and its rounded half-circle pockets, both original and elegant. Worn open over dress 116, it complements the silhouette perfectly without overshadowing it.

The fashion detail to remember? Its cropped cut, right on trend, evokes the spirit of 1990s jackets with a modern twist.
