The Teal Padded-Shoulder Mini Dress with Gold Hem

The Teal Padded-Shoulder Mini Dress with Gold Hem is a demi-couture piece by Joseph Ejiro, available to pre-order.

Solid teal fabric in a long-sleeve mini form, the cut structured at the shoulder with pronounced padding that recalls the architectural shoulder constructions found in mid-century Lagos tailoring traditions. A band of gold sequins and beadwork at the hem anchors the piece, the embellishment understated in scale but precise in execution. This dress functions as a foundation garment and as a statement in equal measure, depending entirely on how it is worn.

Care

Dry clean only due to embellished hem. Do not machine wash. Cool iron on the body only; avoid direct contact with the hem embellishment. Store hung in a garment bag.
