Winter fashion: The ruched mini dress

From Missguided, to Femme Luxe Finery and Pretty Little Thing, the days of the LBD are no more with the rise of the ruched mini dress on the online high street.

The range is endless, with mesh sleeves, to satin finishes - whatever takes your fancy. And for me, it was the mesh sleeved style, particularly this one from Missguided in a black rose print.

Opting to wear it off the shoulder, I teamed this mini number with a pair of midi perspex mules from Simmi London. With midi dresses usually being my staple, initially I was worried about how covered I'd feel in this mini. However, the ruched fitting allowed the dress to sit firmly on my hips, without riding up, plus the long sleeves being mesh allowed me feel a bit covered, but not too hot. Making this buy from Missguided a winner (plus the red rose print went perfectly with my red lippie).

So if you've got a night out coming up, or even a fancy date night planned with the mr and you're looking for a dress guaranteed to impress - head over to Missguided to check out their range of ruched mini dresses here.
