The Assembly Line - Balloon Sleeve Dress

About the Balloon Sleeve Dress

The Balloon Sleeve dress offers versatile sleeve options, allowing you to choose between the voluminous puff sleeve, the short straight sleeve, or even go sleeveless. The fitted bodice provides a tailored look, while the A-line skirt and ballon sleeves add a touch of elegance.  The dress features in-seam pockets and zipper closure at the back.

For a casual day look, you can pair the dress with flats, making it comfortable and suitable for various occasions. If you're heading out for an evening event, switching to heels can instantly elevate the outfit, adding a more formal and stylish touch.
