Army green burnout tiered maxi in army green
$42.48
Check price & buyBurnout again, this time on unlined polyester and in a single army green colourway. The pattern is etched into the cloth, so the floral appears as texture rather than contrast, which is what stops a one-colour dress from looking bare. Below a V-neck and short sleeves sit an empire waist, a tiered A-line skirt and working side pockets. It has gathered a solid body of reviews, more than most of the models around it.

What matters on this one
Start here
Texture doing the work of a print
A burnout floral on one colour means the dress shows its pattern in relief and nothing in contrast. In army green that lands quieter than a printed floral, and quieter is easier to wear twice in front of the same people.
Unlined and light for heat
100% polyester with no lining at all, which is the trade made for wearing a maxi in August. The depth of the green does part of the job a lining would, but it is worth knowing before choosing it for a daytime ceremony.
Tiers plus pockets
The skirt is built in tiers from the empire seam and still carries pockets in the side seams. Tiered skirts usually give pockets up to the horizontal joins, so having both is the practical argument for this one over its neighbours.
Fit, honestly
Sizes run S to XL, 4-6 through 16-18. The empire waist sits under the bust and everything below it is loose. The maker warns that the dress arrives creased from packing and asks for an iron before the first fitting, which is standard for a light polyester.
- V-neck with short sleeves.
- Empire waist above a tiered A-line skirt.
- Side-seam pockets.
- 100% polyester, no lining.
