Hansen & Gretel | Simona Maxi Dress - Hydradgea
Hansen & Gretel Simona Maxi Dress in Hydrangea.
Hydrangea is one of those blues that photographs differently depending on the light — sometimes periwinkle, sometimes cornflower, sometimes almost grey-lilac. On viscose and silk it has depth rather than flatness, and the fabric drapes in a way that makes every ruched seam look intentional rather than just structural. This is a dress that was designed to be looked at from every angle.
The Simona is a strapless maxi built around a ruched, gathered bodice with straight neckline and gathered detailing at the side seams and centre front — the kind of construction that creates shape without needing boning. The skirt is asymmetric georgette, falling to a high-low hemline with movement that shifts constantly. The standout feature is the detachable bolero: gathered, ruched short sleeves with a self-tie collar, attaching at the underarm via rouleau loop buttons. It adds a second way to wear the dress and a layer of coverage for day events or early evenings before you want to take it off entirely.
Style Advise: Wear the full look — dress with bolero — to a wedding or formal event, bolero off for dinner and dancing. The Hydrangea colour pairs beautifully with ivory, champagne or warm gold accessories. Keep shoes strappy and minimal — a barely-there heel or pointed flat — to let the asymmetric hem read clearly.
Fit Advise: Model is 176cm, Bust 82cm, Waist 61cm, Hips 91cm and wears a size S. Centre front length (size S): 134.5cm. Longest point (LHS): 104cm. Fits true to size.
