STAUD Portia Silk Dress in Harbor

The Portia earns its place among STAUD's dress lineup through construction, not print: side ruching and an adjustable asymmetrical tie at the arm build real shape and movement into a silk midi dress that a simple slip style can't match. It's one of the more directional silhouettes in the collection for a reason.

That fitted, ruched waist makes it a strong choice for a dinner or event dress, somewhere between a plain silk slip and something more elaborate, distinctive enough to be remembered without trying too hard.

The result is a dress that photographs beautifully from multiple angles thanks to the asymmetry, and moves easily thanks to the silk itself. Choose the Portia over a straight silk dress when the occasion calls for a silhouette with genuine presence.
