LANIUS TINA ANIMAL: the midi dress that stands out without shouting
Some dresses are just a dress. And then there are dresses like the TINA ANIMAL by LANIUS. The same beautiful cut as the plain TINA – that elegant round neckline, long sleeves, the twisted pleat detail at the waist – but with a print that makes it just that little bit more special. Not over the top, not loud. Just a beautiful, contemporary print that gives the dress character and immediately sets it apart from the rest.
And then the fabric. A blend of 61% TENCEL™ Lyocell, 34% organic cotton, and 5% elastane – soft, breathable, draping beautifully, and with just enough stretch for wonderful wearing comfort. This is a dress that stays comfortable all day long, whether you are at the office, going out for dinner, or just having a long day.
The pleat detail: the USP that makes it all
The twisted pleat detail at the waist is the signature element of the TINA. It is subtle enough not to shout, but striking enough to get compliments. The detail pulls the fabric slightly together at the waist, giving the dress a feminine silhouette without being tight or restrictive. Elegant at the front, clean at the back – with a discreet zipper at the neck.
The print: special without being over the top
The animal print of the TINA is dosed just right. It gives the dress a playful, contemporary character without becoming too busy. And the beauty of a print on such a clean silhouette? The dress does the work – you don't have to add anything else. No busy accessories, no complicated styling. Just put it on and go.
Why you want this dress
Because a midi dress with a print and a clever waist detail combines the best of both worlds: the elegance of a clean silhouette with the character of a beautiful print. The midi length is flattering for almost every figure and the long sleeves make it suitable for year-round wear.
What I often hear: “I want a dress that has something, but that I don't have to think about.” Well, hello. The TINA ANIMAL is very good at that. From office to cocktail party, from brunch to wedding – this dress adapts to your day.
Fit & sizing advice
The TINA ANIMAL fits true to size. Choose your own size. The dress has a fitted shape that moves comfortably due to the elastane. The pleat detail at the waist provides extra room and comfort without the dress hanging loose or shapeless. I am wearing a size 42 in the photo.
How to style the TINA ANIMAL
The print does the work – keep the rest simple. A neutral pump or loafer, a small bag, perhaps a solid-colored blazer over it. That is all you need.
Three styling ideas:
- With nude pumps and a small clutch for an elegant evening look.
- With a camel blazer and loafers for a polished daily outfit.
- With knee-high boots for a cool autumn look that is ready to go.
Material & feel
The TINA ANIMAL is made of 61% TENCEL™ Lyocell, 34% organic cotton, and 5% elastane. TENCEL™ is known for its softness, breathability, and luxurious drape. The organic cotton gives the fabric body and structure. And the 5% elastane provides just enough stretch for comfortable, all-day wear.
Wash at 30°C on a delicate cycle, use little detergent, and do not overfill the machine. Remove the dress from the washing machine immediately to prevent streaks and hang it to dry. Light ironing is possible at a low temperature.
