Madeleine | Women's V-Neck Puff Sleeve Midi Dress with Ruched Waist

PUFF SLEEVE MIDI DRESS

A fit-and-flare midi dress with a V-neckline, puff sleeves and a ruched waist. The supplier lists it for outfits that move from casual days to party nights. It comes in five colours: forest green, black, mauve, navy and teal.

WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT

• Puff sleeves: Softly gathered sleeves add volume and a romantic shape.
• V-neckline: A V-neck elongates the neckline and suits layered jewellery.
• Ruched waist: Gathering at the waist defines the middle without squeezing.
• Fit and flare: A flared skirt moves easily and sits below the knee.

Pair it with sandals and a straw bag for the day, or with heels and a clutch for the evening. A denim jacket works over the top when it cools down. Sizes run S to XL, so check that your size is available before ordering. The darker colours suit evening events, and the teal is a good option for spring and summer parties. The ruched waist adds gentle shaping while the skirt stays light for warm weather, and the puff sleeves create a soft shoulder line. It suits spring weddings, birthdays and holiday dinners, and it needs only a simple pair of earrings. Hang dry to keep the pleats and ruching in shape.
