LANIUS LOVA ANIMAL: a dress that immediately makes an impact
The LOVA ANIMAL by LANIUS is that kind of dress you put on and you’re instantly ready. No hassle with endless styling, no outfit stress, just: dress on, tie the belt, and go. The fluid TENCEL™ Lyocell fabric, the long length, the V-neck, and that cool animal print make it feminine, elegant, and yet wonderfully unique.
The print is truly beautiful. Dark, warm, and distinctive, but not loud. The combination of black with warm rust and brown tones gives the dress a chic feel without being too formal or stiff. This is the type of dress you’d wear to a dinner party, but also just with boots and a cardigan on a weekday. Because why should beautiful dresses only be for "special occasions"?
Why you’ll want this dress
The LOVA is made from 100% Lyocell TENCEL™. That material is known for its fluid, soft drape. And you can see that immediately in this dress. The fabric moves beautifully with you, flows airily along the body, and gives the dress that elegant, swishy look.
The V-neck gives the dress a feminine silhouette, while the longer sleeves and midi length keep it calm and wearable. The waist belt allows you to decide how much shape you want. Tied loosely for a casual look, or tighter if you want to accentuate your waist more. I am wearing a size 40 in the photo!
And as an extra bonus: we also have this print as a blouse with a V-neck. So, if you’ve fallen in love with the print but prefer not to wear a dress, that blouse is definitely worth checking out.
Fit & styling
The LANIUS LOVA ANIMAL has a fluid fit with a waist belt. The dress hangs loosely and airily along the body, but gains shape thanks to the belt. This makes it perfect if you want a feminine dress but don't want something that fits tightly against your skin.
Wear it with black boots for a powerful winter look, with heels for a dinner out, or with loafers for a slightly more relaxed, dressed-up outfit. This dress also looks beautiful with a long wool cardigan or a short jacket. Thanks to the warm colors, it combines nicely with black, brown, rust, burgundy, dark blue, and cream.
The print really does enough on its own, so you don't need to add much. A nice earring, a fine shoe, and you're done. That's what we love.
Material & wash instructions
The LOVA ANIMAL is made of 100% Lyocell TENCEL™. That is a supple and soft material that drapes beautifully and feels pleasant on the skin. Because the fabric is so fluid, you want to treat it with a little care.
Wash the dress inside out at a low temperature and do not use too much detergent. Do not overfill the washing machine so the fabric can rinse well and does not rub unnecessarily. Let the dress air dry and preferably do not tumble dry it. That is better for the fabric, the print, and the longevity of your dress.
Hang the dress neatly after washing or carefully pull it into shape. You will often find you hardly need to iron it. Do you still want to iron? Do so at a low temperature and preferably inside out.

Sustainable & fair
LANIUS creates clothing with attention to beautiful materials, fair production, and timeless wearability. This dress is made from TENCEL™ Lyocell: a material that not only feels great but also drapes beautifully. And that is exactly what makes this dress so strong. It is special enough for an occasion, but wearable enough to come out of your closet much more often.
Because that is ultimately what makes us at Natur-el happy: clothing you don't buy for just one moment, but reach for again and again. A dress that stays beautiful, feels good, and doesn't hang forgotten at the back of the closet after one season.
Don't buy if...
Are you looking for a tight dress that really hugs the body? Then the LOVA is likely not your model. This dress is designed to drape fluidly and more loosely, with a belt to provide shape at the waist.
But if you are looking for an elegant midi dress with a V-neck, a fluid fabric, and a print that immediately makes an impact? Then this is a truly beautiful one.
