Product Insights & Style Tips
The Johanna Ortiz Petals Maxi Dress in Wine is a celebration of feminine drama and couture-level restraint. Built in midweight crepe, it layers two self fabrics: Self 1, a 95% viscose with 5% elastane blend for soft stretch and drape, and Self 2, a 70% polyester with 30% glass for structure and a quiet shimmer. The piece is fully lined in silk, and sequin embellishments with beaded fringe details catch the light as you move.
Detachable shoulder straps give it two moods in one piece, from sleek shoulder-swept elegance to a strapless, party-ready silhouette. A hidden back zipper keeps the line clean, while the lining ensures a smooth, comfortable feel against the skin. The dress skims and falls with the body, offering a flattering long line that transitions from ceremony to evening with ease, enriched by the tactile fringe and sequins as you stride.
Ortiz's practice centers on collaboration with indigenous communities and Colombian craftspeople to bring exclusive materials and innovative techniques to life, a spirit that anchors this Petals Maxi Dress as elegant and playful couture ready-to-wear.
