A square-neck mini dress in 95% cotton with 5% spandex, featuring lace cap sleeves, a ruched empire bodice, and a full fit-and-flare skirt with lace trim at the hem. The lace appears consistently throughout the construction - at the cap sleeves, along the square neckline edge, and at the skirt hem - creating visual continuity across the piece without overloading it. The ruched bodice provides a fitted look at the bust and transitions into the full skirt without a hard waist seam. Closure is a zipper at the back; a lace-up detail is also noted. Not lined, in a cotton with a smooth finish that reads polished in the black colorway. Available in Black, White, and Blue, in sizes XS and M through XL.

  • Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex - natural cotton base with trace spandex; smooth finish that reads polished in the black colorway
  • Neckline: Square neckline with lace ruffle trim - clean geometric cut with a soft lace edge
  • Sleeves: Lace cap sleeves - short and structured in lace, providing shoulder coverage and visual detail at the same time
  • Bodice: Ruched and gathered at the empire line - fitted at the bust with soft gathering that transitions into the skirt
  • Skirt: Full fit-and-flare construction - creates volume and movement from the waist down
  • Hem: Lace trim at the skirt hem - matches the lace used at the sleeves and neckline for visual consistency
  • Closure: Zipper with lace-up detail - structured back closure for a secure fit
  • Stretch: No stretch - size selection is important for fit at the bodice
  • Lining: Not lined
  • Length: Mini (approx. 20-22 inches depending on size) - above the knee
  • Care: Machine wash cold; tumble dry low

Material Composition

95% cotton, 5% spandex. The cotton base accounts for nearly all of the fabric content, providing breathability and structure. The 5% spandex adds minimal ease of movement - the product spec notes no perceptible stretch, meaning the spandex content is functionally trace-level rather than providing active stretch across the body. At this composition, the fabric holds a defined shape. In the black colorway shown in product imagery, the cotton has a smooth, slightly lustrous finish - consistent with a cotton sateen or similarly finished weave - which accounts for the polished appearance at this price point.

Construction Details

Square neckline finished with a lace ruffle trim running the full perimeter. Lace cap sleeves - short and structured in the same or complementary lace, extending off the shoulder cap. The bodice is ruched and gathered at the empire line, creating a fitted look at the bust that doesn't rely on boning or structured cups. Below the empire gather, the skirt flares into a full, voluminous A-line shape. The skirt hem is trimmed in matching lace, creating visual continuity with the neckline and sleeves. Closure is a zipper at the back; a lace-up detail is also listed in product specs and may not be visible in the primary product image. Not lined.

Fabric Behavior

Care Instructions

Machine wash cold; tumble dry low. The cotton-dominant composition is stable through cold washing. The lace at the neckline, sleeves, and hem is the most detail-sensitive element of this garment - following the cold-wash instruction will preserve the lace trim across all three points of application.
