Valeska Sequin One-Shoulder Mini Dress for Nights Out

Valeska is short, bright and built for one thing. A single shoulder carries the bodice, the body is covered in sequins, and the hem stops well above the knee. There is nothing subtle about it, which is the point. The asymmetric neckline keeps the shape interesting from the side as well as the front, so it works as well on a dance floor as it does in a photograph.

Six colourways is a lot for a dress this bold. Gold and silver-leaning grey are the party standards. Red is the statement. White works for a birthday, a hen weekend or a bride-to-be event. Pink and blue are the softer options and sit better in daylight settings. Whichever you pick, a strappy heel and bare legs are the natural pairing, with a cropped jacket for the walk home.

The size run is XS through XL with a close fit, so this is not a dress with much give. The length also shifts noticeably between sizes given how short it is. Check the chart below for approximate body measurements before ordering rather than defaulting to your usual size, and take the larger one if you are between two through the hip.
