Black Velvet Mini Dress with Sheer Lace Sleeves
Meet Anika, a velvet long sleeve dress that pairs plush, light-catching velvet with delicate sheer lace. A deep V-neckline edged in scalloped lace and flared lace cuffs give this black velvet dress its romantic, after-dark mood. It's an easy pick for a cocktail dress moment, a dinner date, or the season's holiday gatherings.

Styling Tips

- Keep it polished for cocktails with a small chain-strap shoulder bag and statement earrings.
Care
Hand wash cold or use a gentle cold cycle inside out in a laundry bag. Do not wring; reshape and dry flat away from direct heat. Steam lightly rather than ironing, and check the care label before washing.
Size & Fit
This style has a close, body-skimming fit through the bodice and hips, as shown in the photos. If you're between sizes or prefer a little more ease, we suggest sizing up.
