Sangallo-Embroidered Cotton-Blend Mini Dress

Valentino’s rose-pink mini dress is cut to an elegant off-the-shoulder neckline with Sangallo-embroidered ruffles – a technique perfected in the Swiss city of St Gallen, which is renowned for its lace production. Crafted in Italy from softly structured cotton-blend faille, it has a fitted bodice and a flared skirt accented by subtle slip pockets. Team it with a basket bag and slides to capture a summer mood.
