Cut and sewn for you

Made for elegant ease, the Mini Dress is cut from a sequin fabric with a non-woven weave. A clean, solid finish keeps it versatile and easy to style. Finished with sequins for subtle movement and texture. The fabric holds its shape while staying comfortable to wear through a long day or evening.

A slim empire silhouette skims the body and defines the shape. The strapless neckline frames the shoulders and neckline cleanly. It is designed sleeveless, keeping the shoulders bare. A empire waist marks the narrowest point and lengthens the line. The mini length falls with an easy, fluid drape. A zipper construction makes it simple to get on and off.

It is made for cocktail, party, wedding guest and summer occasions and the moments that call for something considered. Style it with heels and a slim clutch to dress it up, or with flats and delicate jewellery for an easier take — the clean lines take direction either way. Choose the shade that fits the moment from Gold, Black, Hot Pink, Milky White, Red and Green.

The silhouette is a seam set under the bust, skimming the waist.
You get a mini hem — check your heel height for the look you want.
