• Velvet burnout fabric with an all-over animal print texture, creating depth and dimension across the silhouette
• Ruched skirt section adds gathered volume and tactile interest through the lower half of the dress
• Self-tie waist belt cinches at the waist, allowing you to adjust the drape and silhouette to your preference
• Long sleeves with a high, close-to-the-neck neckline offer a covered-up approach that lets the fabric do the talking
• Mini length with a fully lined construction for a smooth, comfortable wear throughout the night

This is a dress that earns its place in a considered wardrobe - the kind of piece that reads as deliberate rather than decorative. The burnout velvet animal print sits somewhere between texture and pattern, catching the light without demanding attention. Wear it as seen, with sheer tights and statement drop earrings for a night out or drinks with friends. The self-tie belt means the silhouette is yours to shape - knot it to one side for an off-centre finish, or tie it straight for a cleaner line. Swap the tights for bare legs and strappy heeled mules in warmer months, or layer a sleek longline coat over the top when the temperature drops. It moves effortlessly from a bar to a dinner table, from a birthday to a festive evening - the kind of dress that does not need an occasion, only the right mood.
