Julia Mini Dress

The Julia opens with a halter neckline and holds its nerve all the way down, which is not how velvet dresses for women usually go. The fabric holds a line without holding you, so the cut stays close without turning restrictive.

On a short length the velvet does most of the talking, because there is less of it to look at and every inch shows. Bardot shaping keeps the shoulders in the picture.

Put it on and the outfit is finished.
