American fashion retailer Abercrombie & Fitch recently launched the Tie-Front Midi Dresses, an "easy-fitting midi dress in a soft crepe fabric with slim waist detail, adjustable straps, side-slit detail and a tie-front scoop neckline."
This minimal and contemporary dress is available in three colorways – Green Pattern, Blue Pattern, and White Floral. Boasting a sophisticated and elevated aesthetic, this dress is available in a 'Petite' women fit (women who are under 5'5), meaning it's constructed with a shorter shirt designed to hit these women at their shins. In addition, the dress is offered in a regular and a tall fit, to ensure the dress falls at the most flattering point depending on the wearer's height.
