Xenia | Black Lace-Sleeve Mini Dress

There are little black dresses that play it safe. The Xenia plays it perfectly — the lace sleeves add intricate texture where a plain sleeve would be forgettable, the V-neckline creates a graceful frame, and the A-line silhouette keeps the whole thing polished rather than simply short.

The Xenia is a long-sleeve black mini dress in a 55% rayon, 45% elastane blend with a plain bodice, delicate lace sleeves, V-neckline, and a clean A-line cut that sits at the ideal length between modern and refined. The kind of dress that transitions from a cocktail event to a date night to an upscale casual evening without changing anything but your jewelry.

"The Xenia is the black dress I recommend when someone wants something that actually stands out from every other black dress in the room. The lace sleeve detail is the reason — intricate enough to be worth looking at, refined enough to wear absolutely anywhere." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York

✔ Delicate lace sleeves — add an intricate, textural element that elevates the clean plain bodice and sets the dress apart from any standard long-sleeve alternative

✔ V-neckline — creates a graceful, elongating frame that flatters the neckline and collarbone with quiet elegance that works with or without a necklace

✔ A-line silhouette — skims the body from shoulder to hem with a flattering, universally wearable shape that balances the mini length with polished refinement

✔ Rayon-elastane blend — soft and fluid against the skin with just enough stretch for comfortable all-day wear without the dress losing its clean shape

✔ Mini length — delivers a modern, confident edge without compromising on polish, the ideal length for cocktail events and elevated casual occasions alike

✔ Machine washable — a practical detail that makes the dress as easy to care for as it is to wear, no dry cleaning, no fuss between wears

The black dress that finally has something worth looking at.
