ALAÏA Crinoline Knit Dress Lime

ALAÏA Crinoline Knit Dress Lime is a knitted mini dress from the Crinoline series, reinterpreted by Pieter Mulier through the house’s 1992 archives. The clearest expression of ALAÏA’s sculptural approach to the female form lies in the skirt, where volume is created without hoops or rigid structure, relying solely on three-dimensional viscose knit. Opening out sharply from the waist, the silhouette brings a more architectural reading to the house’s iconic skater shape. The fit-and-flare cut balances a close-fitting upper body with a wider mini skirt. A sleeveless construction and scoop neckline keep the line clean, while the 97% viscose blend through the body feels flexible yet gently supportive. A different knit ratio at the waistband defines the waist more clearly, and the 100% viscose skirt preserves that distinctive sense of volume in motion. Made in Italy, this piece is dry clean only. Although retailers list it as true to size, ALAÏA knitwear is known for a close and compact fit. All ALAÏA pieces offered at sutore are delivered after authenticity control. That is where the strength of the Crinoline line begins, close to the body, then suddenly full of volume.
