Vicky Velvet Mini Dress

This is the Vicky dress: the textured mini you can pull on last-minute and know it'll always make you look effortlessly put-together.

You'll love the rich velvet fabric and the fact there's a pre-tied knot at the waist to give it a flattering shape. Wear it to parties with boots or ballet flats to do the dressed-up, dressed-down thing.
