Dresses

The Dresses category brings together original dresses designed and made by MALAM in an independent French workshop. Part of the MALAM collection of original clothing, it ranges from understated everyday styles to more distinctive pieces for summer, special occasions and celebrations.

Designs explore a wide variety of shapes and lengths: short or long dresses, fitted or loose silhouettes, A-line and flared cuts, fluid shapes and asymmetric designs. Depending on the model, details may include low-cut backs, crossed straps, gathers or pleats, adjustable ties, worked sleeves, pockets or contrasting panels and fabric combinations.

Fabric, color and print give each dress its individual character. Jersey, knit fabrics, cotton double gauze, viscose, plain textiles, florals and more graphic prints create everything from lightweight summer dresses to more substantial or dressier styles. Some designs also explore patchwork and mixed-fabric construction.

Some dresses are in stock in a specific size and fabric and ready to ship. Others can be made to order in your size from the design shown. Customizable styles can also be custom-made, with a choice of fabric, color or selected details depending on the model.

For personalized designs, the MALAM fabric library allows you to explore available fabrics, colors and textures and choose a combination suited to the dress.

Several designs can also be reinterpreted as wedding dresses or special-occasion designs. Some dresses are already created with these occasions in mind, while other styles from the main collection can be adapted in white or color, and in shorter or longer versions depending on the project.

Depending on the season and the design, MALAM dresses can also be layered with original jackets and coats or sweaters and cardigans from the collection, making it possible to build very different silhouettes around the same dress.

Each dress is designed, pattern-cut and prototyped in the MALAM workshop, then cut and crafted in France. Produced as one-of-a-kind garments, small batches or limited quantities, MALAM dresses stand out through their cuts, details, colors and fabric combinations, offering silhouettes away from standardized ready-to-wear.
