Behold the Mella, with her commanding cape sleeves and acres of iridescent disc sequins. This sequin romper will give you a striking silhouette, yet is easy and comfortable to wear thanks to the organic cotton fabric and carefully designed fit.


HOW IT FITS

• DRAPE & FIT: a flattering V-neck flows into full circle cape sleeves, before gathering into a non-stretch waist. Gently tailored A-line shorts sit neatly over the hip bones before kicking out at the leg. The strong metal zipper down the back has a tassel pull, making this playsuit easy to get in and out of.

• BRA TIPS: the cape sleeves are open from underarm to high waist, so when you lift your arms, a glimpse of bra might be seen. You may like to wear a nude bra, or one in a bright colour, or if you prefer your bra to be completely concealed, add a V-neck vest or crop top layer.

• NON-STRETCH: woven non-stretch organic cotton gives just the right amount of structure and a good drape.

• NO ITCHY SEQUINS: we promise our sequins don't itch! The soft fabric and cotton thread is smooth and comfortable against your skin. It’s party wear that feels like lounge wear.


SIZING

This style fits true to size in sizes XXS to M.  In sizes L to XXL, it runs slightly large, so you may like to size down.  The waist is fitted, but the shorts are roomier, so if you are bigger on your bottom half like our model Anna, you can select your size based on your waist measurement (check the Size Guide) in the confidence that there will be room in the fit of the shorts to accommodate your hips.

Our model Eloise is wearing size XXS.  She is a UK 8 (US 4)  Her height is 5’6.5” (168.5cm) bust 30.5" (77cm) waist 25.5" (65cm) hip 35" (89cm)

For a cinched-in waist, check the WAIST measurement on the size chart and choose the size which is closest to your waist measurement.

ROSA SAYS

"It was a surreal moment a few years ago when Taylor Swift stepped onto the red carpet wearing the Mella playsuit. But she was late to the party as far as I’m concerned – it’s one of our best-sellers, so evidently our customers already knew there was something special about this sequin playsuit!”


OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
