Long-Sleeve Mini Dress with V-Neckline for Women

The one for after-work drinks when you came straight from the office.

A V-neckline and long sleeves give this mini dress enough polish for a restaurant table, while the fitted waist keeps the shape clean. Wear it with ankle boots for a pub garden in early spring, or swap in a heel when the occasion calls for it.

Three reasons this one works:

• Spring evenings sorted: Long sleeves take the edge off a cool night without adding bulk.
• Defined waist: Cut to sit close at the middle, which gives the short hem its balance.
• Goes two ways: Ankle boots keep it casual; a block heel shifts it into evening territory.

What to know:

• Long sleeves: Full-length sleeves in the same fabric as the body.
• V-neck opening: A modest V that sits flattering without being deep.
• Fitted through the waist: Seaming at the waist creates shape without a belt.
