FINERY Veronica Chiffon Ruffle Midi Dress Petite 16

An empire waist means the dress does the shaping before you have even thought about it. The ruffle appears twice, once around the v neckline and again at the raised waist seam, which is where the skirt starts falling. From there the chiffon drops clean to midi length with nothing interrupting it, full length blouson sleeves finish in elasticated cuffs with a frill at the wrist and the body is lined. Wear it with a heeled boot for evening or flat sandals and a denim jacket to bring it down, a slim belt at the empire seam sharpens the waist if you want more definition than the cut gives.
