Esmeralda | Ruffle-Hem Mini Dress

There are dresses that look good standing still. The Esmeralda looks better the moment you start moving — the tiered ruffle hem catches every step, the lantern sleeves add a romantic, modern drama, and the elasticated waist defines the silhouette without ever feeling like it's trying to. The kind of dress that turns a casual evening into something considerably more memorable.

The Esmeralda is a long-sleeve V-neck mini dress in lightweight breathable polyester with smocked cuff lantern sleeves, an elasticated waist, adjustable neckline ties, and a tiered ruffle hem that adds playful, flirtatious movement to every step. Available in rose pink, khaki, multicolor, light violet, black leopard, and classic leopard — six distinct personalities in one silhouette.

"The Esmeralda is the dress that photographs beautifully and wears even better. The ruffle hem is the detail that makes it — it adds movement and lightness that most mini dresses simply don't have. The lantern sleeves keep it romantic, the elasticated waist keeps it flattering, and the color range means there's a version for every woman who reaches for it." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York
