Finding the perfect white cocktail dress is often a challenge. You want something that stands out but isn't "too much," something elegant yet comfortable enough to dance in.
At REPULO'S, we designed the Catalina Mini Dress to be the answer.
Whether you are a bride-to-be looking for a stunning rehearsal dinner outfit, or a fashionista hunting for a unique statement sleeve dress, the Catalina offers a versatile 2-in-1 solution that guarantees all eyes on you.
One Dress, Two Vibe-Changing Looks
The genius of the Catalina dress lies in its convertible design. In a world of fast fashion, we believe in versatile pieces that give you more value. This dress features detachable pleated chiffon sleeves that transform your look in seconds.
The "Drama" Look: With the sleeves attached, you get a breathtaking, angelic silhouette with "wings" that move beautifully as you walk. Perfect for grand entrances and photo ops.
The "Party" Look: Snap off the sleeves (hidden buttons make it easy), and you have a sleek, sexy minimalist white mini dress ready for the dance floor.
Style Tip: Wear the sleeves for the ceremony or dinner, then detach them for the after-party to switch up your vibe instantly.
Engineered for the Perfect Fit
At REPULO'S, we don’t just design for mannequins; we design for real women. The Catalina dress is constructed to flatter your curves while providing structured support.
Why our customers love the fit:
Built-in Shapewear Effect: Side inserts made of nude mesh create a visual "snatched waist" effect, giving you an hourglass silhouette.
No Bra Needed: The bodice features built-in cups with a subtle push-up, giving you total freedom and support.
Structured Shoulders: Mini shoulder pads define your silhouette, balancing the hips for a polished look.
Premium Lining: The dress is fully lined—meaning zero transparency. Yes, it’s completely opaque, so you can wear white with confidence.
Fabric & Quality: Luxury You Can Feel
Forget flimsy fabrics. We use a high-density Premium French Jersey blend that is smooth to the touch, pill-resistant, and has the perfect amount of stretch.
Main Fabric: 50% Viscose, 46% Lycra, 4% Nylon.
The Sleeves: Airy, semi-sheer pleated chiffon that feels weightless.
This combination ensures the dress hugs your body comfortably without restricting movement—ideal for long events.
