Siliva Maxi Dress

The Sylvia Maxi Dress is the navy maxi dress that Australian women have been searching for — a full-length, tiered button-front shirt dress with a flowing, sweeping silhouette that manages to be simultaneously timeless and thoroughly modern, polished enough for work and elegant enough for evening.

Crafted from soft, breathable fabric in a rich, deep navy, the Sylvia is built around a three-tier skirt construction that creates one of the most beautiful silhouettes in the All About Ava range. Two horizontal gather seams divide the skirt into three progressively fuller tiers — creating a sweeping, voluminous maxi hem that moves with extraordinary grace and photographs beautifully from every angle. The back view in particular is genuinely stunning — the three tiers fan out into a full, flowing skirt that has the quiet drama of a much more expensive dress.

The design details throughout are considered and refined. A mandarin-style notch neckline sits clean and elegant at the collarbone — more interesting than a standard shirt collar, more modest than a V-neck. The full-length button-front placket features pearl or shell-effect buttons running from neckline to hem — a classic, feminine detail that elevates the Sylvia into genuinely special territory. The self-fabric tie belt sits at the natural waist, creating beautiful definition and a flattering hourglass shape that the flowing tiered skirt then balances perfectly. Long sleeves finish with pearl button cuffs and gathered volume that adds a romantic, slightly bishop quality. A double back yoke panel adds structural detail and shape through the upper back.

Style with block-heeled leather pumps and pearl earrings for work, client meetings, or smart occasions. Swap to ankle boots and a leather belt for a modern, relaxed everyday look. Add a tailored blazer for the cooler months. The Sylvia transitions through every season and every occasion with complete ease.
