Continuing off the structured bodice, the skirt is extended into a tiered A-line shape made by layers of falling tulle, each layer decorated with the use of sequin embellishment to add depth and a slight shimmer

An elasticated waistband at the back provides comfortable shaping, and the tiered frilling hemline adds graceful volume and movement to every step

The seamless sleeves and textured stitches add a polished touch, making it a versatile wardrobe staple

This year's theme, Costume Art, draws inspiration from the museum's new exhibition, featuring 400 outfits and objects that span 5,000 years of fashion history

The green plaid pattern pairs beautifully with neutrals like navy, gray, and tan, while also working well with earth tones and seasonal colors
