It sits off the shoulder, with a gathered, blouson bodice, a small keyhole at the chest, and a close ruched skirt that finishes in a beaded fringe. Wear it for a holiday dinner, a late terrace table, or a night that starts in the heat. The fringe catches the light when you move, which is what lifts it out of a plain bodycon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOff-the-shoulder neckline\u003c\/strong\u003e - leaves your collarbones clear without a high crew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGathered, blouson bodice\u003c\/strong\u003e - soft volume on top instead of a flat, tight front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall keyhole at the chest\u003c\/strong\u003e - a little opening rather than a plain straight neckline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuched mini skirt\u003c\/strong\u003e - the gathering through the hip keeps the hem close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeaded fringe at the hem\u003c\/strong\u003e - movement at the thigh when you walk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoose gathered top against a close ruched skirt\u003c\/strong\u003e - the dress has two halves, so it does not sit as one tight tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeaded fringe rather than a plain mini edge\u003c\/strong\u003e - gives the hem a finish you can see when you walk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeyhole at the centre front\u003c\/strong\u003e - breaks the neckline so the gathered bodice does not read as a sack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe split between the blouson bodice and the ruched skirt is the reason you'd pick this over a standard bodycon mini. A close dress all the way up can feel severe in the heat; leaving the top gathered and dropping into a ruched skirt is what keeps it holiday rather than clubwear. The beads at the hem will move when you walk, so this is not a quiet, plain mini. If you want a long, covered evening dress, this isn't the length. It is listed with an open back and our view is front facing, so we're going by what's listed there rather than something we've seen ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and Coverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bodice sits loose and off the shoulder, and the skirt is close through the hip to a mini hem. Coverage is low at the neck and short at the thigh. 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\u003eIt's made from polyester, which is what gives the gathered bodice its drape and the ruched skirt its hold. We don't have a percentage breakdown, so we won't guess one for you. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold hoops and stacked bangles on your wrists, and leave the neckline clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA small clutch and a strappy heel when you want it for a late table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBare legs - a long coat only if your evening cools, not a jumper over the shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails You'll Love\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the dress you pack when you want one short piece that can do dinner as well as a walk back through a warm street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Questions Answered\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size ruched mini dress should I order if I'm between sizes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake the larger of the two.
