Details

Every wardrobe needs a little black dress, and this women's ruched mini is a strong contender. Designed for cocktail hours, birthday drinks and nights out, it pairs a sharp square neckline with flattering ruching that draws the eye to your shape. Wear it with heeled sandals and statement earrings for an evening look, or layer an oversized blazer over the top and add ankle boots for a cool, modern take.

The side ruching is gathered by an adjustable drawstring, so you can raise or lower the hem slightly and choose how much gathering you like. The sleeveless design has wide shoulder straps that cross at the back, giving a secure feel and an eye-catching detail when you turn around. The mini length keeps the look fresh and leggy, perfect for showing off your favourite shoes. It packs neatly too, making it a smart choice for weekends away and hen parties.

At Alan & Joan we believe the best party dresses are the simplest ones to wear. This cocktail dress comes in black in women's sizes S, M, L and XL. Please take a look at our size guide before placing your order. Free UK delivery comes as standard on every order, so your next night out is sorted. It is a style you will come back to for years.
