A midi-length double-breasted dress in lightweight black and white check, tailored through the bodice with a full gathered skirt. The front features a cascading ruffle bib — cut from the same check fabric — that falls across the chest and shoulders. Puff sleeves with organza-lined structure give volume at the shoulder without weight.

A covered self-fabric belt with a separated buckle fastens at the waist and is fully removable. Topstitched pleats through the bodice and front opening add precision to what is otherwise a very fluid, lightweight piece. Part of Henri Paris FW26, where tailoring and flou collide across decades.
