Product Details

Rich in colour and beautifully shaped, this African print 2 piece dress set brings together a full flare midi dress and a coordinating cropped jacket. Made from 100% cotton Ankara wax print, the outfit features a deep navy background decorated with copper, gold and cream motifs.

The dress combines a fitted, structured bodice with a sweetheart neckline, wide shoulder straps and decorative gold-tone rings. Its defined waist flows into a generously flared midi skirt, creating beautiful movement with every step. Functional side pockets add a practical detail to the elegant silhouette.

The matching cropped jacket features structured shoulders, an open front and long sleeves with gathered decorative detailing. Worn together, the two pieces create a striking outfit for weddings, formal celebrations, church occasions and special events.

What's Included

This listing includes both pieces:

  • Varena African Print Flare Midi Dress

  • Varena African Print Cropped Jacket

Both garments are made from the same navy, copper, gold and cream Ankara print.

Shoes, jewellery and other accessories shown in the photographs are not included.

Shop Separately

Prefer to purchase the dress or jacket individually? Both designs are available separately.

Varena African Print Flare Midi Dress

A beautifully fitted sweetheart-neckline dress with a full flared skirt, decorative gold-tone strap details and practical side pockets. Wear it on its own for an elegant occasion look, allowing the neckline and flowing skirt to take centre stage.

An African 2 Piece Outfit for Weddings and Celebrations

A full skirt brings a different character to occasion dressing, particularly when combined with a structured bodice and a beautifully tailored jacket.

For wedding ceremonies and formal celebrations, wear the complete Varena outfit with elegant heels and understated gold jewellery. The cropped jacket adds structure through the shoulders without hiding the dress's defined waist, while the flared skirt creates a graceful silhouette.

For an evening reception, remove the jacket to reveal the sweetheart neckline and decorative gold-tone rings. The fitted bodice and flowing skirt create a beautiful balance, allowing the African wax print to stand out without needing elaborate accessories.

The outfit also works beautifully for church celebrations, family gatherings and special dinners. The rich navy background makes it easy to introduce neutral accessories, while the copper and gold motifs offer natural colour choices for shoes and jewellery.

Beyond the matching outfit, the cropped jacket can be paired with a plain fitted dress or tailored trousers. The dress can also be worn independently, offering two distinctive looks from the same purchase.

 

Prefer a More Fitted Silhouette?

If you love the Varena print but prefer a streamlined pencil skirt rather than a full flare, discover the Varena African Print Pencil Dress & Cropped Jacket Set.

It offers a different dress silhouette with the coordinating cropped jacket, giving you another way to wear the same distinctive Ankara print.

 

Fit and Sizing

Available in 8 to 18.

The flare dress is fitted through the bodice and waist, with a generously flared skirt that provides fullness through the hips and legs.

The cropped jacket has a structured silhouette, designed to complement the fitted upper body of the dress without concealing its shape.

Please consult our size guide and compare your bust and waist measurements before selecting your size.
