ALAIA Ribbed wool-blend skater midi dress in gris blue

Alaïa's rib is engineered rather than simply knitted. On this sleeveless dress it runs vertically through a crew-neck bodice, then turns at the hips and fans out horizontally into a flared skirt. The change of direction does the tailoring, drawing in the waist without a seam in sight, and the wool blend has enough weight to hold the flare.
