The little black dress, rethought with intention. This black midi cocktail dress skips the fuss and lets shape lead: a draped wrap front falls at an angle, the hem follows on an uneven line, and elbow-length sleeves keep it polished. It is a minimalist piece built to outlast trends – dress it up for dinner or wear it plainly with flats.
We designed it for the woman who would rather own a few pieces she truly loves than a closet full of maybes. Wear it with pointed flats for a weeknight dinner, or with heeled sandals and statement earrings when the invitation says cocktail attire.

Size & Fit
The wrap front drapes softly over the body rather than clinging, giving a modern, easy shape. Use your bust measurement to choose from the chart below. Between sizes? The smaller size gives a closer drape, the larger a more relaxed one.

Body measurements. How to measure: bust at the fullest point, waist at the narrowest point, hips at the fullest point with feet together. Between sizes? Choose the larger size for a relaxed fit, the smaller for fitted styles.
Care
Wash cold and gently, inside out, with similar colors. Reshape and dry flat or on a line rather than in the dryer. A cool iron on the reverse, or a quick steam, removes any creases.
