BREEZE IN...STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT...FLOAT OUT
Portofino Ivory Strapless High Low Dress
Couldn't load pickup availability
*VERRRRY LIMITED EDITION*
Some dresses whisper. This one makes an entrance. Our ivory cascade high-low dress is here to help you own the night (or at least the cocktail hour). With its strapless neckline and floaty hem that’s high in the front, low in the back, it’s the kind of silhouette that practically begs for a dance floor, a rooftop patio, or that wedding with the open bar.
It’s lightweight, lined, and makes you move like a goddess. Add wedges, a stack of bangles, and that little bit of sparkle in your eye, because this dress isn’t shy, and we know you aren't either.
Why it’s the one you’ll reach for when RSVP says, “Dress to impress”:
💃 Strapless & stunning: Keeps things simple up top so your accessories (and shoulders) can shine.
👗 High-low drama: Flowy with a little flirt, perfect for showing off your favorite strappy sandals.
🎨 Elegant ivory: Clean, classic, and anything but boring.
🧵 Lined for comfort: Sheer style without showing any unwanted lines.
🇺🇸 Made in the USA: Designed with Bette’s signature vacation mindset—just a little dressier this time.
Bette Truth Bomb: Not every vacation vibe means barefoot on the beach. Sometimes, it’s sipping prosecco in a gorgeous dress that makes you feel....unstoppable. If our Bettes love it, we'll order more. 😉
Size S: Length measures 43" from neckline, 34" from neckline (short side)

Fabric & Care
Fabric & Care
Handwashing is best: This dress is best hand-washed. If you must, wash it solo on delicate cycle. Washing it on a regular cycle will shorten the life of this fabulous dress.
Wash it in cold water. This dress is hot enough, so give it a break and wash it in cold water. Hot water will only make it more wrinkly than a raisin.
Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach unless you're trying to give your dress a punk rock look.
Air dry it if you can. If you want to avoid a fashion disaster, hang your dress to dry. The heat will make it look like a miniature version of what it used to be.
Spot clean stains immediately. If you spill something on your gorgeous dress, don't wait until it becomes a permanent accessory. Spot clean it immediately before it turns into a "what was I thinking?" moment. Tide wipes or even baby wipes are great to have on hand for a quick cleanup.
Steam it. The best way to get your dress looking just perfect is to steam it to get any wrinkles out.

Meet the owner
I’m a Boston girl who moved to Southern California in 2007. There’s a vacation vibe here that comes not just from the ocean and palm trees. It’s the laid back approach to life, the outdoor, active lifestyle, and it's the fashion. I work from home, I drive my kids around, I run errands, and then I might meet friends for a drink. I don’t want to think about 10 different outfits for my day. I want something that I can wear for all of that. Something that says, "I know SoCal fashion" without overdoing it. And something that won’t go out of style next week. Oh, and I want it to be comfortable.... and flattering. Too much to ask? Bette says, “no”.

Will this shrink?
Your best bet is to either hand wash or delicate wash your maxi and let it hang to dry. This is the best way to ensure the frayed neckline stays in tact and your maxi doesn't shrink. :)
