A rust that leans more sunset than fall. Sits between our brown and orange, warmer than both. Mali is a handmade, hand-dyed backless maxi dress with tie shoulders, a ruffle hem, pockets, and a loose, flowy fit made for warm days, vacation nights, and easy resort dressing.
Each piece is hand dyed, so slight variation in color and pattern is part of its one-of-a-kind beauty.

The Mali Dress is one size, designed to fit most women from US 4–18 (S–2XL). Its loose, oversized cut and adjustable shoulder ties allow you to adjust the neckline and length. Best on women 5'3" and taller.
This dress is designed to be loose, flowy, and oversized. Great if you love an easy drape, less ideal if you prefer a fitted look. Some customers find the fabric slightly sheer, so a slip can be worn underneath if desired.
How to wear Mali Maxi dress
This dress is absolutely gorgeous! It may be minimal, but it does turn heads everywhere I go. I don't have much of a boob (aa cup) so for some extra security i wore a bikini top because this dress is very billowy and will occasionally give a sideboob peep. Even where there's no wind, this dress billows as you walk. Going to get a different dress from this seller! Beautiful designs!
Omg I’m obsessed with this flowy, soft, absolutely perfect comfy dress
Beautiful Dress for the Summer
This is the perfect vaca/summer dress!!!
The photos do not do it justice you must see these pieces in person. The fabric reminds me of a silk and linen blend. I’m autistic with very sensitive skin and the fabric feels like a dream. The craftsmanship is impeccable. This brand will definitely get my money again
