African Print Corset Midi Dress | Ariselle
With its structured sweetheart neckline and fitted pencil silhouette, this African print corset midi dress brings together striking Ankara fabric and elegant tailoring. The rich red, black and golden yellow print gives the dress its distinctive character, making it a beautiful choice for weddings, evening receptions and special celebrations.
Crafted from 100% cotton African wax print, the strapless bodice features contrasting patterned neckline detailing and carefully shaped seams that define the bust and waist. The fitted skirt follows the natural contours of the hips, finishing at an elegant midi length.
Wear the dress on its own with simple heels and jewellery, or add the matching cropped jacket for a coordinated outfit with a more tailored appearance.
This listing is for the corset midi dress only. The matching jacket is not included.
Complete your outfit with the Ariselle African Print Cropped Jacket, designed in the same striking Ankara print.

For the best fit, compare your bust, waist and hip measurements with our size guide before ordering. The structured bodice and fitted skirt make accurate sizing particularly important.
A fitted African print midi dress is a lovely alternative to conventional occasionwear, particularly when you want something with colour and a distinctive silhouette.
For a wedding reception, style the dress with delicate gold jewellery and elegant heels. The sweetheart neckline leaves the shoulders beautifully exposed, while the contrasting fabric detail draws attention to the shape of the bodice.
For formal dinners and evening celebrations, the rich red and golden yellow tones create a striking look without needing elaborate accessories.
The coordinating cropped jacket offers another way to wear the dress. Add it for a more structured appearance at a ceremony, then remove it later for a different evening look.
