The Busi Embroidered Dress - Resale

Black, one-shoulder, colourful embroidery across the bodice, mini length — the Poetry Busi dress is one of those pieces that people ask about.

The Busi Embroidered One-Shoulder Mini Dress by Poetry is exactly the kind of South African design that deserves more attention. A bold single asymmetric shoulder strap creates a modern, confident silhouette, while intricate colourful embroidery across the bodice adds genuine artisanal detail that makes this dress stand out from a sea of similar mini silhouettes. The fitted waist accentuates the figure before gently flaring into a clean mini hemline — party-ready, polished, and completely its own.

Size + Fit: Available in sizes 8 and 10. True to size with minimal stretch in the woven fabric. If you are between sizes or prefer more ease through the bust or hips, size up. The one-shoulder strap means no bra on that side — a stick-on or adhesive solution is recommended for fuller cup sizes.
