How do I style the tuxedo lapel detail?

The tuxedo lapel is a statement feature. It pairs well with minimalist accessories. Consider delicate jewelry and sleek hairstyles to draw attention to the neckline and open back.

What is the length of the midi dress?

The dress falls to a sleek midi length, approximately 133cm from shoulder to hem, providing sophisticated coverage.

Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?

Troubleshooting
