The Elowen Dress - Plum Mini Dress with Puff Sleeves and Tie waist

The Elowen Dress

Looking for a vintage-inspired plum mini dress with puff sleeves, waist-cinching magic, and just enough sass to make strangers stop you in the Trader Joe’s frozen aisle? Say hello to the Elowen Dress.

Unique qualities

• Rich plum base sprinkled with vintage-inspired florals in mustard, sage, and cream—an autumn-ready palette that works year-round

• Contrast trim on the collar, placket, and waist sash with a triangle blanket stitch detail (because even your stitching deserves compliments)

• Button-down placket that keeps it polished but not too serious

• Tie belt with loops to cinch the waist so you look intentional, even when you got ready in five minutes flat

• Puff sleeves with a touch of drama—editorial selfies incoming

• Handy pockets for snacks, lip gloss, or pretending you’re not awkward in photos

• Fully lined so there’s zero see-through stress, just pure confidence

• Flirty A-line skirt that swings when you walk, practically begging for boots now and sneakers later

Warning: This is one of those dresses you’ll keep thinking about, even at 2 a.m. when you should be asleep. Add to cart now—or spend the next week kicking yourself when it’s gone.

Fit and sizing reference: Kristi (brunette) is 5’5” 148lb (at the time these photos were taken) 36B and street size S/M & 28/7 in jeans.  She's wearing size M for a great fit.
