🤍 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 black mini dress is pure romantic sophistication. The gathered halter neckline sits beautifully on your shoulders and opens to a bare back, while the skirt floats in soft tiers with delicate pleating and layered ruffles that move with every step. It skims without clinging, creating an effortless trapeze silhouette that flatters every shape and feels impossibly light against your skin.
