Amapola Embroidered Lace-Trim Maxi Dress

Product Insights & Style Tips

Johnny Was channels sunlit gardens with the Amapola Embroidered Lace-Trim Maxi Dress. Silk drapes into a fluid, full-length A-line, while oversized floral embroidery and delicate butterfly motifs bloom across the fabric. Mesh lace trim edges the neckline and hem for tactile depth, and a V neckline with short sleeves keeps the silhouette buoyant. The slipover style glides on, while a drawstring waist hints at a relaxed, sculpted line.

Move with it: the drawstring waist lets you dial the shape at the center, and the generous A-line skim is forgiving over hips and thighs, letting the dress sway as you walk. Layer it over a lightweight knit or under a suede jacket for day, then swap to sandals or heels for evening. Its silk lends a soft glow that reads polished in a room and easy on a weekend escape.

Johnny Was's embroidery-forward tell is all over this dress—artful florals, color-saturated embroidery, and lace trims that feel gathered from travel and dreamed into a single piece. It sits squarely in the label’s refined boho lexicon, pairing with denim or a slipped-back shoe for a modern, editorial mood. Note: this merchandise may have a distressed effect, a unique feature that adds character rather than a flaw.
