Black Lace Strappy Gathered Mini Dress

Mini length with a gathered silhouette - the ruched detailing pulls the fabric in at the body for a sleek, close fit that still moves. Thin adjustable straps and a scalloped lace neckline give the bodice a delicate, lingerie-inspired finish. All-over lace construction with a scalloped lace hem - the texture does the work so you don't have to. Low open back with a clasp fastening - understated from the front, a statement from behind. Please note: due to the fabric used, colour may transfer - keep that in mind when styling with lighter pieces. Lace that actually holds its shape - this isn't the kind that loses its edge after one wear. The gathered body skims without clinging, and the scalloped hem sits just at the top of the thigh for a proportion that's intentional. Style it with barely-there heeled mules and a micro bag for a night out that means business - bar, club, late dinner, the kind of evening that starts at ten and ends when it ends. If you're dressing it down slightly, a leather jacket thrown over the shoulders shifts the whole mood without undercutting the dress itself. This one earns its place at the front of the wardrobe.
