What is new in Aje lace for Resort 2027?

Resort 2027 brings two lace families: Maribelle in cotton crochet lace and Elarose in linen with a lace yoke.

The Maribelle family is the bigger story. Aje cuts it from 100% cotton crochet lace, so the whole garment is the lace, not a lace overlay on a slip. The Maribelle Lace Maxi Dress ($990) is the long version, and the Maribelle Lace Mini Dress ($770) has a crew neckline and a shoulder panel. The same lace runs through a shirt, a pant and a short, covered in our guide to Aje lace shirts and pants.

The Elarose Lace Mini Dress ($840) is the quieter option. It is cut from 100% linen with a crew neckline and lace applique through the yoke, and it comes in ivory and black. The lace sits near the face and the linen does the rest, which keeps it cool in heat.

Which Aje lace dress is best for a summer wedding?

For a daytime summer wedding, the Elarose Lace Mini Dress in black is the safest choice, and the Maribelle Lace Maxi Dress suits a beach ceremony where ivory is welcome.

White and ivory lace reads bridal, so check the dress code before wearing the Maribelle maxi to someone else’s wedding. If ivory is fine, it is one of the easiest long dresses Aje makes for heat: open cotton crochet breathes, and it packs without creasing badly. Our guide to Aje beach wedding guest dresses covers the colour question in more detail.

For the bride, the ivory lace styles work for a registry ceremony, a rehearsal dinner and the day after. Our edit of Aje white dresses and bridal holds the full bridal list.

How do the Aje lace dresses compare?

The table below sets out every Aje lace dress in stock on Coveti by length, lace type and price.

Is there a black Aje lace mini dress?

Yes, three: the new Elarose Lace Mini Dress in black, the Boheme Lace Mini Dress and the Florence Lace Mini Dress.

The Elarose is the lightest, since only the yoke is lace and the body is linen. The Boheme and Florence minis carry more lace and sit better at night. For a party, pair any of the three with the Talia Platform Heel in bordeaux and the Luna Long Clutch in merlot croc, both new this drop. More black styles sit in our guide to Aje black dresses.

How should an Aje lace dress fit?

Take your usual size. Aje cuts its wovens on the Australian 4 to 18 scale, which matches UK sizing number for number.

Cotton crochet lace has a little give across the body but none in length, so check the length on the product page if you are tall. The Elarose is linen, so expect it to soften and relax a touch after the first few wears. Our Aje sizing guide has the full chart.

How do you care for Aje lace?

Follow the care label on each piece, and when in doubt, choose a gentle hand wash in cool water and dry flat.

Crochet lace can snag on jewellery and bag hardware, so fasten bracelets before you dress. Store lace folded, not hung, so the weight of the lace does not stretch the shoulders. Linen pieces like the Elarose press best while still slightly damp.

What to wear with an Aje lace dress

Keep the accessories plain and natural so the lace stays the focus.

• Day: the Chesca Wide Brim Raffia Hat and the Maxine Flat Thong in tan with the ivory Maribelle maxi
• Evening: the black Elarose mini with the Inda Chunky Sandal in black
• Bag: the Polish Raffia Crossbody keeps the texture story going; see our guide to Aje raffia and basket bags
