A soft V-neckline sits above thin straps, the waist is gathered into a diagonal ruche that pulls everything in at the sides, and the skirt kicks out into a short, easy flare finished with a contrast trim along the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eV-neckline on thin straps\u003c\/strong\u003e - shows a little without feeling exposed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiagonal ruching at the waist\u003c\/strong\u003e - pulls you in at the sides for a defined shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlared mini skirt\u003c\/strong\u003e - gives you room to move once you're actually dancing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContrast trim along the hem\u003c\/strong\u003e - gives the hemline a clean, finished edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuched side seams\u003c\/strong\u003e - the gathering does the shaping work, so the dress reads fitted without a rigid structure underneath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThin spaghetti straps\u003c\/strong\u003e - a light, minimal line that lets the print stay the focus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ruching is what separates this from a plain leopard slip. Instead of relying on the fabric alone to hold a shape, the gathers at the waist pull the sides in and give definition right where you want it, then hand off to a flared hem that swings rather than clings. It's a shape that works whether you're sitting at a table all night or actually on your feet. One thing worth knowing: the fit is closest through the ribcage and waist, so if you carry length in your torso, sizing up is the safer call rather than fighting a snug ruche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and Coverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's fitted through the bust and waist thanks to the ruching, then kicks out into a short, flared skirt that sits well above the knee. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFabric and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll find it made in a soft-finish fabric with a slight sheen that reads well under evening light. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer. Check the care label on your own garment as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrappy block heels and a small structured bag for a night that starts with dinner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA cropped leather jacket over the top if you need it for the walk between venues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold hoops and a stack of thin rings, keeping the neckline the main focus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails You'll Love\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's an easy pick for a night when you want to look like you tried without the outfit taking up your whole evening - one dress, one pair of heels, and you're out the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Questions Answered\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size leopard print bodycon dress should I order?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompare your measurements to our size chart first.
