This is from the Ray Darten Basic line (RD Basics).
This dress features a relaxed, easy to wear fit that skims the body without clinging.
It comes with a soft V-neckline that frames the collarbone beautifully, adding a subtle hint of femininity without being too low.
The short sleeves are comfortably loose and fall slightly over the upper arm, giving a relaxed silhouette that’s breathable and flattering on all arms.
With swirling circles on one side and layered ovals on the other, the print delivers visual intrigue and a modern artistic twist.
Whether paired with heels or sandals, it’s the kind of piece that makes getting dressed feel easy and empowering.

This African print maxi dress is tailored with a sharp V-neckline and structured shoulder, giving it a modern yet timeless appeal.
The extended sleeves add a polished silhouette, while the ruched waist hugs your figure in all the right places.
What sets this dress apart is its high-thigh slit, that is adjustable. Thanks to the invisible zipper cleverly built into the slit, you can choose how much leg to show, zip it down for a daring look or close it up for more coverage. It’s your style, your way.

You can never to wrong, with a purchase from Ray Darten. It is very rare to find "real" embroidered outfits. Most of the stuff out there has the "look". I like the real thing. I always get complimented when I wear any of my many dresses!
Perfect fit, extremely comfortable, and the compliments were flowing at the black tie gala I attended! I can't wait to have a reason to wear it again. (5'9", 220, 1X)
Craftsmanship and fit are excellent. I bought as a birthday gift for myself. It’s beyond words. Colors are vibrant and brighter in person. It is a stunning piece.
