This black cotton Defensia dress embodies Horror Vacui’s more-is-more approach to femininity – in tune with the label's name which translates from Latin to ‘the fear of emptiness’. Exclusive to MATCHESFASHION.COM, it features graphic scalloped trims and smocking across the bodice and sleeves, then is cinched by a wide matching fabric belt. Slip on metallic leather flats to draw attention to the gathered dip-hem panel.
