Designed for weddings, formal celebrations and evening occasions, this African print corset dress makes a statement through its distinctive fabric, flattering proportions and thoughtful construction.
This listing includes the Neraya corset midi dress only. The cropped jacket and accessories are not included.

A fitted corset dress offers a beautiful alternative to flowing occasionwear, particularly when you prefer a defined waist and a more sculpted silhouette.
For a wedding reception, pair this floral Ankara midi dress with simple heels, a small clutch and gold jewellery. The warm orange tones and dramatic black piping provide plenty of visual interest, allowing your accessories to remain understated.
For formal dinners and evening celebrations, wear the dress on its own to showcase the sweetheart neckline and shaped bodice. Its close fitting pencil skirt creates a polished silhouette, while the back slit adds a practical detail to the tailored design.
The coordinating cropped jacket offers another styling option, particularly for church ceremonies, weddings and occasions where you may prefer additional coverage. Its structured construction complements the dress without hiding the fitted waist.
Whether worn alone or with the matching jacket, Neraya offers a distinctive approach to African print occasion dressing, combining striking colour with beautifully considered tailoring.
This dress is designed with a structured corset bodice, a defined waist and a fitted pencil skirt.
The sweetheart neckline frames the shoulders and upper body, while the shaped bodice panels follow the contours of the bust and waist. The skirt has a close fitting silhouette through the hips, finishing below the knee.
Please check your bust, waist and hip measurements against our size guide before ordering. This design is available in standard sizes only, with no custom measurements required.
