Coast Women's Petite Short Sleeve 3D Flower Belted Midi Dress in Fig | Size: 16

The bodice is covered entirely in raised 3D floral appliqu - each bloom sits proud of the fabric, creating real depth and texture that catches the light as you move. A peplum hem at the waist flares slightly before giving way to the pleated skirt, creating a two-part silhouette that reads as considered rather than constructed. The pleated georgette skirt falls to midi length with the kind of easy, continuous movement that comes from finely set pleats - it swings cleanly with each step rather than clinging. A tonal self-fabric belt cinches the waist between the textured bodice and the smooth skirt, anchoring the proportions without interrupting the overall line. Proportioned specifically for a petite frame - the waist placement, peplum drop, and skirt length are all calibrated so nothing overwhelms a shorter silhouette. Short cap sleeves sit close to the shoulder, keeping the neckline and dcolletage open while maintaining a polished, covered-up finish appropriate for formal dressing. Ge
