Lena | Pleated V-Neck Shift Mini Dress
Pleated V-Neck Mini Dress for Parties, Long Lunches and Summer Holidays
Meet Lena, an easy mini dress for women that looks polished from the moment you slip it on. Layered pleats trace the deep V-neckline into a crisp chevron, while split short sleeves fall open along the arm for an airy, cape-like feel. Choose black for a modern little black dress, or reach for the green, pink, orange or white shades for Christmas parties, long lunches and relaxed holiday evenings.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Smooth, matte finish with a soft, fluid drape that moves easily as you walk.
- Neckline: Deep V framed by layered pleated bands that meet in a neat chevron at the centre front.
- Sleeves: Short dolman-style sleeves with an open split along the outer arm.
- Cut/Fit: Relaxed shift silhouette that skims the body without a defined waist.
- Length: Sits above the knee for a fresh mini length.
- Style: Minimal and clean, letting the pleated neckline do the talking; easy to dress up or down.
Styling Tips
- Wear the black shade as your little black dress with strappy heeled sandals, layered gold necklaces and a textured clutch for evening drinks.
- Throw a denim jacket over the green or pink colourway and add white sneakers for a laid-back weekend brunch.
- Pair it with a tailored blazer and block heels for end-of-year work functions and Christmas parties.
Care
Gentle cold wash or hand wash, then hang or dry flat in the shade. Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and always check the care label first.
