| Pleated Mixed-Media Dress: Choose this for an exclusive, Canadian-designed fit-and-flare dress featuring a matte rib-knit top blended with LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose and a satiny, 100% polyester pleated skirt. This unlined midi dress, which measures 130 cm from the top of the shoulder, has a defined waist seam, though customers should note that the skirt portion may pull on the top half when moving.[1,2] | Peplum Waist Structured Satin Tube Dress: Choose this if you want a strapless black midi dress with a defined waist: it pairs a structured, flared peplum over a fitted pencil skirt, with built-in boning and an inner silicone strip above the bust listed as support features, plus a hidden back zip and a back vent slit. Its heavyweight satin is described by the listing as flowy with a sumptuous drape, and it comes in X-Small to X-Large. Note it is a fitted, form-fitting tube style without straps, so the strapless cut and close fit matter if you prefer looser or strapped dresses.[3,4,5,6] | Slit Asymmetrical Midi Dress: Choose this if you want a fitted, sleeveless black midi dress with dramatic asymmetric styling, including a one-shoulder neckline, pleating at the left shoulder and right hip, a gathered waist, and a high left side slit that opens above the knee. The heavier-weight stretch crepe (95% polyester, 5% elastane) is designed for an impeccable drape, with a stretch satiny lining, hidden back zip, and a 48.50 inch shoulder-to-hem length; sizes run from X-Small to X-Large. Keep in mind the slit sits high enough to reveal the thigh, so it suits those comfortable with a bold, leg-baring cut.[7,8,9,10,11] |

Gorgeous dress
Love the dress fits perfectly
Love that dress so much !
It is dress up or down it’s 3 seasons for sure and quality is great I got both colours!
Cute and comfortable
I feel like dress should be re-named. The bottom half doesn't feel like faux leather. It is a heavy synthetic that falls into pleats perfectly. The skirt is heavy and pulls on the top. Depending on your build, this could be good or bad. My full bust means that most dresses fit like an empire waist, this maintains its natural waist for me, a belt is needed to complete the look.
Lovely dress not for me.
I ordered a size down. It fit well but the skirt portion pulls on top portion creating an unflattering silhouette
Magnifique!
Magnifique! La robe est faite un peu grande, je prends habituellement du XL mais j’ai changé pour du L.
