• Tulip-cut mini skirt that flares from a gathered waist seam, giving the skirt a soft, rounded shape that moves as you do
• Square neckline sits wide and flat across the chest, framing the décolletage without dipping too low
• Structured bodice with defined shoulders and long sleeves - the top half holds its shape while the skirt does the opposite
• Fitted waist seam with a side-tie detail that cinches the silhouette and adds a considered finishing touch at the hip
• Woven fabric with a smooth, matte face that keeps the tailored bodice crisp and the skirt with just enough body to hold the tulip shape

The tension between that sharp, structured bodice and the gathered tulip hem is what makes this dress work. It's not just another LBD - the skirt has real volume at the hip that tapers back in, creating a shape that reads polished rather than prim. The long sleeves keep it intentional, especially for nights where the dress code demands a little more thought. Style it as the model does: sheer black tights and embellished kitten heels to keep the mood sharp and party-ready without overdoing it. For a night out, pile on layered jewellery at the neck and wrist to fill the space the square neckline opens up. It works just as well at a birthday dinner or festive event where you want to show up looking like you actually tried - and it photographs beautifully under low lighting, which is always worth knowing.
