A center front seam runs the length of this velvet dress, giving structure to its straight, mid-calf silhouette. Lantern sleeves gather into fitted cuffs at the wrist, balancing the fullness through the shoulder and arm. A mock neckline sits close to the throat, while a knotted fringe hem adds movement at the base. Finished with a back zip closure, it wears equally well styled for evening plans or layered into transitional dressing.
