Animal-Print Long-Sleeve Mini Dress – Self-Tie Waist, Subtle Shoulder Structure & Easy A-Line Hem
A modern day-to-night piece with attitude. This mini dress features a clean crew neckline and lightly structured shoulders to sharpen the profile. Soft lantern sleeves gather at the cuffs for ease and elegance, while a matching self-tie belt cinches the waist exactly where you want it. The skirt falls into an easy A-line that flatters the hips and lengthens the legs.
The allover animal motif delivers instant presence—camera-friendly and effortlessly chic. Wear it to the office with loafers and a blazer, then switch to heels and a clutch for dinner. It’s the kind of dress that works hard without trying hard.
