The Zaha Dress V-Neck Black
A fitted, sleeveless V-neck dress that transitions cleanly from the office to an evening out. The Zaha is cut from SmoothingStretch fabric that sits close to the body and holds its shape throughout the day, with a satin zip pull at the back for easy dressing, a back kick pleat for ease of movement, and a hem that hits at or just below the knee. It layers cleanly under a blazer and works just as well without one.
Fit & Details
- SmoothingStretch fabric — close-fitting, holds its shape all day
- V-neckline
- Sleeveless silhouette — designed to layer under a blazer
- Satin zip pull on back zipper for easy solo dressing
- Back kick pleat for ease of movement
- Fitted throughout bust, waist, and hips — held-in feel
- Hem hits at or just below the knee
The Zaha runs slightly smaller than expected — most customers find this. If you want a comfortable, close fit, take your usual size. If you prefer more room or are between sizes, size up one. The kick pleat at the back means you can walk and take the stairs without restriction.
Common questions
Is this dress appropriate for a professional office setting?
Yes. The V-neck is modest, the hem hits at or just below the knee, and the sleeveless cut layers cleanly under blazers and structured cardigans — it reads polished in formal and business casual environments.
Can I machine wash it?
Yes — machine wash cold, hang to dry. The fabric holds its shape and colour through regular washing.
How fitted is it really? I'm worried it will cling.
The Zaha is designed to sit close to the body and give you a held-in, supported feel. It's more fitted than the Cecilia. If you carry more volume through the stomach and hips, sizing up will give you a more comfortable fit without losing the clean line.
What do I wear it with?
It layers cleanly under a blazer for boardroom settings. On its own, heels or pointed flats keep it polished. A belt worn over a blazer can add definition at the waist if you want it.
Does the kick pleat restrict movement?
No — the kick pleat at the back of the skirt is specifically there so you can walk and climb stairs without pulling at the hem.
