It brings visual interest without shouting, which is very much the point. The bodice is fitted and high-necked, giving the dress a sophisticated structure from the waist up, while the pleated skirt takes over below, swaying with every step. The self-tie belt is worth taking a moment with: a neat bow at the front keeps things sharp, while a loose side-tie reads more relaxed. The model wears hers tucked into knee-high leather boots with a structured leather shoulder bag - a pairing that works well for an autumn lunch, a gallery visit, or a smart family gathering. For a slightly more dressed-down feel, flat ankle boots and a simple leather tote carry it just as well. This is a dress that looks considered without appearing to have tried too hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable sizes: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Dress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: Midi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve: Long Sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeckline: High Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeason: AW26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% authentic, sourced from karenmillen.com.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wallis","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ M","offer_id":68176535814329,"sku":"BYY18511-BLACK-M","price":52.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/5537\/8617\/files\/byy18511_black_xl.jpg?v=1793936121","url":"https:\/\/velvetsecretx.com\/products\/wallis-long-sleeve-wave-colourblock-pleated-midi-dress","provider":"velvetsecretx","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
