Soft, lightweight fabric. No setup, no shapewear needed.

Just zip, go, and watch the night unfold.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear a regular bra with the spaghetti straps?
A strapless or adhesive bra works best with the sweetheart neckline. Many customers go braless thanks to the ruched bodice giving natural support.

How short is the skirt — will it ride up when I sit?
The skirt hits about 4 inches above the knee with a full A-line flare, so it stays in place when you sit. The flared cut gives more coverage than a straight mini.

Does the fabric feel cheap or slippery?
It has a soft satin feel with a matte finish — not overly shiny. Lightweight enough for warm venues but holds shape well.

Will the ruching hide a soft tummy?
Yes — the ruching creates gentle texture across the midsection that softens any lines underneath, and the cinched waist seam draws the eye in.

In the box

• 1 × Velessa ruched a-line mini dress (color of your choice)

How to wash

• Machine wash cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle.
• Do not bleach.
• Hang dry to preserve the satin finish.
• Iron on low heat if needed.

Runs true to size. If you prefer a looser layer, size up one. Garment measures 3–5 inches larger than the body measurement — that is the ease that lets it layer.
