Josette Long Sleeve Mini Dress - Black

Short at the hem, covered at the arm, open at the front — the Josette does not commit to being one kind of dress, which is exactly why it earns its hanger space in December. The V at the neck is cut deep and frames the decolletage rather than hiding it. Long sleeves finish in elasticised cuffs that sit close at the wrist, and the waist is elasticised too, drawing the dress in without a fastening to fight with. A tie belt comes with it and detaches when you would rather go without; belt loops are there either way. A plisse overlay runs over the top, so the surface has fine folds in it. The dress is lined. With the waist already defined, nothing else needs to define it. Black boots and bare legs, or tights if the party is somewhere cold. Wear the tie belt for a sharper shape, leave it off for a looser one, and let the sleeves do the work of a jacket.
