Ruched draping shapes the waist and hip of this velvet sheath dress, cascading into a high side slit that opens with every step. A halter-style crew neckline and racerback cut leave the shoulders bare, while the sleeveless bodice sits close through the body for a clean line. The fabric's soft sheen catches the light without ever feeling heavy. Falling to a mid-calf hem, it pulls on as a pullover and pairs easily with boots for evening plans.
