Tweed Pleated Mini Dress
A mini in softly structured ivory tweed, with a fitted bodice and a box-pleated A-line skirt that opens with measured volume. The texture carries light without weight.
A note from the designer
The mini wasn't the first instinct — most polished pieces live longer at midi length. But the box pleats wanted to flare with movement, and a mini gave them the room. The bodice had to stay close enough to anchor the silhouette so the pleats read as deliberate, not busy. Box over knife — the volume reads cleaner from the front.
