🤍 CLOSING DOWN SALE

After 14 years we're closing our boutique, and everything left is 50% off. As long as you can still click “Add to cart”, this piece is still available at its closing-down price.

This is the little black dress that actually works—effortless elegance you can throw on and feel instantly put-together. Vertical detailing creates a flattering line, whilst lace trim and a flutter hem add movement and subtle romance. The V-neckline is graceful and understated, giving you that "I didn't try too hard" sophistication that works from a dinner in the city to a weekend drinks run.

Why you'll love it

Vertical detailing that skims your frame without clinging
Lace trim adds texture and feminine detail without being over the top
Flutter hem moves with you and catches the light beautifully
V-neckline is elegant and doesn't demand a statement necklace
Timeless black works with sandals, heels, boots—whatever you've got
Hard to find a dress this versatile for night and casual-chic moments
All-day comfort that actually looks like you've made an effort
