Overview
The Ulla Johnson Emmalina Sweetheart Neck Tiered Midi Dress in Adriatic (size 4) is a designer midi defined by a fitted sweetheart neckline and a multi-tiered skirt that adds soft volume and movement. It’s well suited for someone seeking a feminine, polished option for daytime events, garden weddings, or elevated weekend wear. The dress’s signature details—the sweetheart bodice, tiered silhouette, and Adriatic blue color—make it easy to style up with heels or down with sandals. Available at Nordstrom in size 4, it pairs a structured top with a breezy, knee-to-calf length skirt.
Key Features
- Made from lightweight cotton poplin (approx. 100% cotton) with a partial lining in the bodice; size 4 midi length falls around mid-calf on a 5'8" frame (approx. 42–45 inches from shoulder to hem)
- Sweetheart neckline with elasticated shirred bodice and darting for a fitted waist; invisible side zipper closure for a smooth silhouette
- Tiered A-line skirt with three gathered tiers that add volume without excessive weight, enabling breathable movement and easy packing for travel
- Short puff sleeves with elastic cuffs and gently structured shoulders; reinforced seams at tiers and waist improve durability and shape retention
- No electronics or modern fabric technology; design innovation lies in artisanal cut-and-sew techniques—engineered shirring and tier geometry to balance volume, fit and drape
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Flattering sweetheart neckline
- Airy tiered midi silhouette
- High-quality fabric and construction
- Rich Adriatic blue color
Cons
- Premium price point
- Limited fabric stretch
- Dry-clean only recommended
- Fitted bodice can be snug at the bust
Recommendations
- Ideal for garden parties, daytime weddings, showers, resort vacations and summer events where a polished yet relaxed silhouette is desired
- Excels for outdoor or semi-formal daytime occasions; pairs particularly well with block-heel sandals or espadrilles and a lightweight wrap for cooler evenings
- Targeted at shoppers who prefer feminine, vintage-inspired silhouettes in natural fabrics; size 4 best suits those with an approximate 26–27 inch waist and 34–35 inch bust (fit guidance only)
- Practical advice: try on with intended shoes to verify midi length, consider sizing up for broader shoulders or a fuller bust, follow the garment care label (typically dry clean or gentle hand wash) and store on a padded hanger to preserve the sweetheart shape

Frequently Asked Questions
The dress is fitted through the waist with a gathered bodice and a voluminous tiered skirt, so your bust and waist measurements will determine the best fit. If you have a larger bust or prefer extra room in the bodice, consider sizing up; if you’re between sizes at the waist but have a smaller bust, your true size will likely work. Check Nordstrom's size chart and try to compare your measurements to the brand's sizing or read customer reviews when available.
