The Lavinia Cut-Out Pencil Dress. Tailored, printed and just a little daring. The Lavinia Cut-Out Pencil Dress traces the body in a clean, fitted line, then adds a cut-out detail that turns a confident dress into an unforgettable one.
Cut as a fitted pencil dress with a cut-out detail and offered in multiple sizes, Lavinia follows the curves in a beautiful original print. It suits cocktail evenings, milestone dinners, date nights and celebrations that call for polished, daring dressing.
A pencil dress defines the figure, and the Lavinia takes it further with a cut-out that adds a flash of skin and a lot of confidence. The fitted cut reads strong and feminine, the original print keeps it distinctly Sai Sankoh, and the cut-out makes it a piece you reach for when you want to feel your most daring. It is the dress for the cocktail party, the date night, the evening you want to own.
Because it is sized and fitted, check the Size Guide and order your usual size. Style it to let the silhouette and cut-out lead: a sleek heel, fine drop earrings, a small clutch and hair off the face. Keep everything else minimal so the dress is the statement.
It photographs beautifully because the fitted line and the cut-out create such a clean, confident shape. For the woman who wants a dress that turns heads at dinner with a little daring, the Lavinia delivers.
