Women's Black Spot Burn Out Cape Midi Dress

Attached cape overlay sits across the shoulders and falls to the elbow, creating a layered silhouette that moves independently from the body of the dress. High neck with a softly rounded stand collar - refined enough to carry an occasion without requiring additional neckwear. Burn-out spot print gives the fabric two distinct textures within the same pattern, so the dots shift between opaque and semi-sheer depending on the light. The skirt is cut on the bias with a fluted hem that flares gently at the ankle - it swings when you walk and skims rather than clings through the hip. Fully lined throughout, so the dress sits smoothly against the body with no need for additional layers underneath. The cape is the defining detail here. It drapes from a fixed seam at the shoulder blades and hangs wide enough to add presence without bulk - the kind of architectural touch that reads well from across a room. Beneath it, the midi skirt takes over with quiet movement, the bias cut pulling the fabric into a natural swing at the hem. The high neck and cape together mean jewellery can be kept minimal; drop earrings, as the model wears, are all this dress needs. Strappy heeled sandals keep the silhouette long and uninterrupted. This is the dress for occasions where you want to look considered rather than overdressed - a wedding as a guest, a formal drinks reception, a graduation dinner. The spot print adds visual interest without competing with the structure of the cut, and the fully lined construction means comfort is never compromised over the course of a long evening. | Wallis Women's Spot Burn Out Cape Midi Dress in Black | Size: 8 Colour: black
