Black broderie, structured bodice, delicate straps, tiered midi skirt, intricate cutwork detailing — the Poetry Jiselle is available from size 6 to 18, from R649.

The Jiselle by Poetry is precisely the kind of dress that makes occasion dressing feel effortless. Intricate broderie cutwork fabric creates texture and depth that photographs beautifully — the detailed cutwork at the hem is the finishing touch that elevates this from pretty to genuinely refined. A structured bodice with delicate straps supports and shapes the upper body, while a softly tiered midi skirt skims the hips and creates fluid movement with every step. Breathable, lightweight, and completely versatile across a wide range of occasions.

Poetry is a well-loved South African brand with a loyal following and a reputation for quality fabric and considered design — the Jiselle is a strong example of what they do best.
