Step into the spotlight with the Carmen Cotton Silk Maxi Dress in Anthos Lótos, where elegance meets artistry. Crafted from a luxurious blend of silk and cotton, this statement maxi dress features a striking placement print that celebrates the lush beauty of blooming lotus flowers in vivid pinks and greens, set against a rich charcoal base.

With its flattering A-line silhouette, subtle front split, and delicately cinched waist with a self-tie belt, the Carmen dress drapes effortlessly over the body—creating movement and grace with every step. Voluminous elbow-length sleeves add a touch of drama, while the detailed border print gives this piece a distinctly bohemian-luxe edge.

Perfect for summer soirées, destination events, or resort getaways, the Carmen dress in Anthos Lótos invites admiration. Pair with heels for elevated elegance or dress down with flats for a relaxed, polished look.
