Pleats are one of the few details that make a loose-fitting dress feel intentional rather than shapeless, and the Ariane Fontenoy uses them exactly there. A scoop neckline and half-length sleeves keep the top simple, while a pleated bodice adds just enough structure before the fit loosens into a midi dress designed to skim rather than cling.
Side pockets are worked into the flowing silhouette, and the lightweight, linen-look fabric is built to breathe through a warm morning without wilting by afternoon. It's a dress made for the days that don't have anywhere urgent to be — a market run, a garden lunch, a stretch of hours with nothing scheduled.
