Midi Dress — Alma Petite High-Neck Pleat-Detail in Grape Burgundy by REISS
The Alma is REISS’s definitive petite Midi Dress: a high-neck silhouette in rich Grape Burgundy, where soft pleating at the shoulder releases a fluid drape through the bodice and into a full midi-length skirt. Engineered for women 5’3″ (160cm) and under, every proportion is drafted — not shortened — to flatter a petite frame, with a measured 49″ / 124cm length from side neck to hem.
Design & Construction
- Fabric: 97% viscose, 3% elastane — a woven with subtle stretch for ease of movement and graceful drape
- Neckline: Elegant high neck with a buttoned keyhole closure at the back
- Shoulder detail: Soft pleating that creates fluid movement through the bodice
- Sleeves: Refined cap sleeves
- Waist: Curved waistline that defines the silhouette without constriction
- Pockets: Discreet side pockets for functional elegance
- Closure: Buttoned keyhole with a concealed back zip for a seamless finish
- Skirt: Full midi-length flare
Petite Proportioning
The Alma belongs to the REISS Petite collection, perfectly proportioned throughout the body for women 5’3″ (160cm) and under. The 49″ / 124cm side neck to hem measurement is drafted specifically for shorter frames, ensuring the waistline, skirt volume and hem fall exactly as intended — never compromised by simple shortening.
