Naomi short black leopard print velvet dress

Feline daring meets refinement: delicate sheer textures, velvet flocked leopard print and an ultra-feminine plunging neckline!

Looking for the perfect little black dress to make a statement on nights out and at holiday parties? Our Naomi dress reinvents animal print with absolute elegance. Crafted from a flowing sheer fabric adorned with tone-on-tone leopard spots in soft velvet, it subtly catches the light without ever going over the top.

Its plunging crossover V-neck beautifully flatters the bust and elongates the neckline. Its wide elasticated smocked waistband gently defines the waist, while the full lining gives way to a flirty, twirl-worthy skater skirt. Its sheer long sleeves add an irresistible touch of airy lightness.

What makes it stand out:

• Its tone-on-tone flocked velvet leopard print: the texture of black velvet against sheer fabric adds instant, textured chic.

• Its plunging V-neck: a feminine crossover cut that flatters the neckline and accentuates the décolletage.

• Its elasticated smocked waist: it comfortably defines your silhouette without ever feeling tight.

• Its flowing semi-sheer sleeves: airy long sleeves finished with elasticated cuffs that are easy to blouse.

• Its lined, flared skater skirt: a swishy, feminine drape with full coverage from the waist down.

💡 LYDIE'S STYLE TIPS

Body shape: Flatter your figure

• Pear shape (hips wider than bust): The plunging neckline and velvet details draw the eye upward, while the skater skirt flows effortlessly over the hips.

• Rectangle shape (less defined waist): The fitted elasticated waistband creates the illusion of a defined waist and balances your figure.

• Inverted triangle shape (broad shoulders): The V-neckline elongates the upper body, while the flared skirt adds volume to the legs.

• Hourglass shape: The fitted cut and V-neckline beautifully follow your natural curves.

Color analysis: Textured black leopard print

• The contrast between the airy black fabric and soft velvet subtly catches the light.

• It pairs beautifully with layered gold jewelry for a warm, festive glow.

Outfit idea: Pair it with black tights, slip on our black Roxane ankle boots to tone down the dressed-up look with a trendy city touch, and brighten up your décolletage with pieces from our jewelry in gold! For a festive evening, go for patent heels and a chic clutch.

Care instructions:

• Washing: Machine wash inside out at 30°C max, on a delicate cycle (ideally in a laundry bag to protect the velvet flocking).

• Drying: Air-dry on a hanger (do not tumble dry).

• Ironing: Use a very low heat setting and iron inside out, or gently steam from a distance.
