Trustpilot

NOVA is the dress that makes the whole room look when you turn around.

From the front — baby blue, soft puff sleeves, a flowing maxi skirt that moves with the particular grace of linen in the breeze. Already beautiful. But the back is where NOVA keeps her secret: an open cut-out that reveals just enough to remind you that softness and deliberateness can inhabit the same dress.

She is the kind of dress that gets photographed. The kind that someone across a restaurant notices. The kind that you reach for when the occasion calls for something that feels like more than getting dressed.

SIZE AND FIT

NOVA has no stretch in the main fabric. However the bust area is elasticated — it gathers and adjusts to fit, accommodating a range of bust sizes comfortably.

The puff sleeves are also elasticated at the cuff for ease of wear.

She is a regular fit through the body. If you prefer more room through the torso or hips, size up.

The open back cut-out means NOVA works best without a bra — or with stick-on support if preferred.

Our model is 176cm and wears a size S (8).

Please note: NOVA is a full maxi length. On most heights she will reach close to the ankle. On shorter frames she may graze the floor.

Welcome Home

A space where women return to what was always true.

Matea is a space where women return to what was always true.

Not a fashion brand. Not quite a lifestyle brand either — something older than both. We believe softness is not weakness, that beauty can be prayer, and that the daily act of adorning yourself can be a way home.

Everything we make lives inside that belief.

Through our partnership with i=Change, every purchase creates a ripple beyond your doorstep — because a woman returning to herself is not just personal. It's planetary.

This is Matea. Welcome home.
