The Albaray mini dress is made entirely from recycled materials with a plush velvet finish, offering luxury while still being eco-friendly. Its simple A-line shape and short hemline both help to keep it minimalist and elegant, allowing you to style it as you wish.

The brand has teamed up with SOJO to offer alterations, so you can have the Cuff and Collar Velvet Dress tailored to your exact measurements in time for your next big event. The velvet mini dress is a breeze to style – pair it with platform boots and black tights for a laid-back look, or metallic heels and a bold red lip for a glammed-up evening ensemble. Its flattering fit also skims over your figure, creating a stunning silhouette.
