Design your own: Mini Strap Dress

£149.00

In sizes UK 4-6 to UK 30-32
Mini skirt dress with a bandeau-style bodice
In your own fabric choice

  • 'Relaxed fit' gives a looser silhouette with extra space in the waist whereas 'Regular fit' is more fitted to the body in the bodice

    IMPORTANT: Please make sure you have checked if there is enough of your chosen fabrics for the different elements of your dress with our team before placing your order

    IMPORTANT: Please make sure you have checked if there is enough of your chosen fabric for gathered, puff or 3/4 length versions of sleeves before you place your order

    Please note: sleeveless garments with attached shoulder ties will mean that the garment opens completely at the shoulder when untied. Garments with sleeves with attached shoulder ties will mean that the shoulder ties are purely decorative

    Fine cotton lining works with most fabric types, cupro lining works well with drapey fabrics
    Please note: you will need to add a lining if you are adding bound pockets to your garment

    Concealed zips are more hard-wearing - we recommend these for heavier fabrics + more fitted garments; invisible zips are lighter weight + a bit more delicate

    This bow is decorative not functional
    Bow tie fastenings are functional not just decorative
    A 2-3" modesty panel sewn behind the bows to bridge any gaps created through movement when the garment is worn

    Please note some thicker fabrics like velvets / heavy wools etc won't be suitable for frills - if you are designing a garment with us in one of these fabrics and want to add frills please check with us first

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR FABRIC + PLACE YOUR ORDER:

1. Choose your fabric by heading to our instagram fabric gallery 

Each fabric has a reference number & details of which of our designs + sizes it is suitable for. Comment on the instagram post or email us via info@theemperorsoldclothes.co.uk to reserve it – we generally only have enough of each fabric for 1-2 garments so this step is really important!

2. Place your order here – double-check you have the correct garment style.

Your fabric reservation lasts for 72 hours so please place your order during this time otherwise the fabric will become available to other customers.

3. Sit back, make a cup of tea + get excited about your one of a kind garment!

GARMENT DETAILS:

With a comfortable figure-hugging cut, this cute mini dress finishes above the knee. Handmade from scratch in your choice of fabric the dress fastens with a side or back zip fastening.

WAYS TO WEAR:

Wear the dress alone with your favourite shoes for outfit number 1.

For all year round wear style the dress with a high-neck top underneath and ankle boots to keep you warm in the colder months.

It would make for a perfect summer dress or vintage-inspired dress to wear to a wedding. Dress up with black clutch bag & heels or go for a relaxed feel with summer basket, sunglasses & sandals. When the temperature drops simply add tights, ankle boots and some cashmere.

Feel good fashion! This cute mini dress will be created by our small team in our Brighton & Hove studio for a living wage. Every piece we make is totally unique and will not be reproduced.
