Ruby Fan is a red off-shoulder African print dress in deep crimson, amber gold and charcoal black, finished with a large fan-shaped botanical motif. Made from 100% cotton Ankara wax print, it combines a structured fitted bodice with a dramatic full-flare skirt for a silhouette that feels polished, feminine and made for occasion dressing.
The wide foldover neckline creates a distinctive V-shaped dip across both the front and back, drawing attention to the shoulders while keeping the bodice structured through the waist. A matching self-tie belt gives you the option to add further definition, while two deep side-seam pockets are built into the skirt without disrupting its volume.
With its rich red palette and strong shape, Ruby Fan works especially well as an African print wedding guest dress for receptions, celebrations, formal events and other special occasions. The fully lined construction adds structure and comfort, while the non-stretch cotton wax print helps the dress hold its shape throughout the day.
