Meli Black Lace Mini Dress

We first saw the Meli at the Salon international de la Lingerie show in Paris and ordered it on the spot. What stood out immediately was the contrast between the elegance of the qipao-inspired silhouette and the sensuality of the sheer floral lace, finished with a striking row of antique gold buttons. We chose the Meli because it captures everything we love about Cadolle: impeccable French craftsmanship paired with unapologetically sensual design.

Cut from sheer black floral lace, this close-fitting mini dress follows the body precisely. A mandarin collar and cap sleeves reference the elegance of the qipao, while the curved décolleté is traced with antique gold buttons running from shoulder to sternum. The result is a silhouette that feels both refined and provocative.
