Blythe Mini Dress - Ivory

Textured tweed, a black trim and a row of faux pearl buttons — the Blythe Mini Dress borrows its manners from a much more formal kind of dressing. The tweed carries a visible texture, and the black trim outlines the shape so the whole dress reads as tailored rather than thrown on. Faux pearl buttons sit as the decorative detail, and there are front pockets that look the part without actually opening. A round neckline and a sleeveless cut keep the top half clean, the fit runs slim, and a back invisible zip does the closing. It is lined. This is a daytime dress that behaves itself after dark. It works for a lunch, a bridal shower, a christening, a smart work event — the occasions where jeans would be wrong and a long dress would be far too much. A low heel or a ballet flat, and a bag with some structure to it.
