A smart-casual mini dress built around a smocked elasticated waist band that does the fitting work without a zip or fastening. The band sits at the natural waist and gathers both the bodice above and the skirt below into it, creating definition at the centre without boning or structure. Above the waist, the bodice is clean and flat with a moderate V-neckline; below it, the skirt is fully gathered and falls to mid-thigh with enough volume to move without clinging.
The sleeves are the other notable detail — a puff at the shoulder that tapers through a long, fitted arm into an elasticated cuff at the wrist. The overall effect is a silhouette that is proportioned and considered rather than simply casual. The woven fabric has a smooth, matte finish with enough weight to drape cleanly without going limp, and the whole dress reads as polished enough for an office environment while remaining comfortable across a full day.
Wear with pointed flats or block heels and a structured tote for a work combination. Pair with ankle boots and a longline coat for an autumn or winter version. Dress down with white sneakers and a denim jacket for a weekend take that keeps the shape without the formality.

a wider range of waist sizes than listed. Take your usual size based on
