Tie Shoulder Ruffled Mini Dress

Tie shoulders give you something a fixed strap never can: the ability to decide where the dress sits. Pull them tight and the neckline lifts, leave them loose and it drops. The ruffles do the rest, giving the skirt volume so it flares rather than hangs straight. It is a short dress that knows exactly what it is.

The fabric is 100% polyester with a slight stretch, and the body is not lined. Sizes run S to L and the numbers matter here because this is genuinely brief: the length runs from 24.8 inches at S to 25.6 inches at L. The bust measures 32.3 inches at S through to 35.4 inches at L, the waist moves from 25.2 to 28.3 inches, and the hip is cut wide at 42.5 to 45.7 inches, which is what gives the ruffled skirt its room to move. Two colours are offered: Dark Green and Black.

This is an evening dress in most people's hands. A heeled sandal and a small bag is all it needs, and the bare shoulders mean earrings do more than a necklace would. If you want it for daytime, a flat sandal and a denim jacket over the top will take the edge off. Black is the safe pick and Dark Green is the more interesting one, especially against a tan or gold accessory.
