Women's Black Lace Trim Fit & Flare Midi Dress

All-over floral lace overlay with a scalloped hem at the cuffs and midi skirt - the raw-edged lace finish gives the hem a delicate, unstructured quality that moves beautifully as you walk. High neck with a fitted bodice that nips in at the waist before releasing into a full, gently flared skirt - the fit-and-flare silhouette is built into the cut rather than added as an afterthought. A fine beaded waist detail sits at the natural waist, drawing the eye to the dress's narrowest point without competing with the lace pattern above and below. Long sleeves in the same lace as the body, sheer through the arm - they add coverage without weight, making this a considered choice for formal occasions where a bare shoulder would feel out of place. The cotton-blend woven fabric is breathable and soft against the skin, so it remains comfortable through a full day or evening of wear without feeling restrictive. Fully lined for a polished finish and a smooth silhouette beneath the lace. The high neck and long sleeves give this dress a composed, refined quality that sets it apart from more conventional occasion wear. The lace overlay sits over the lining to create depth and dimension - it catches the light without being overtly showy, which makes it particularly well-suited to weddings, race days, and formal evening events where you want to look considered rather than overdressed. The flared skirt falls to midi length and has real movement to it, swaying as you walk rather than sitting stiffly. The scalloped hem is the kind of detail that rewards a second look. Style as the model does here: strappy heeled sandals and a small clutch in a tonal shade keep the focus on the dress itself. Pearl drop earrings and a sleek, straight blow-dry complete the look with quiet confidence. This is a dress that works as hard at a graduation ceremony as it does at a black-tie dinner - the silhouette and lace speak for themselves. | Wallis Women's Lace Trim Fit & Flare Midi Dress in Black | Size: 8 Colour: black
