Description

The Rina Elegant Midi Dress in Black is a tailored midi dress in a textured viscose and elastane blend, with a square neckline framed by a line of white piping, a button detail at the waist, and short sleeves. It is for the woman whose calendar asks for designed restraint rather than embellishment: the piping reads as tailoring, not decoration.

Fabric
A blend of viscose and elastane in a textured weave, sourced from a European mill. The viscose gives the cloth a fluid hand and a clean drape; the elastane gives shape recovery across a full day. The texture catches light with quiet dimension under daylight and warm evening light. The white piping at the neckline is a single piped line, placed to read as precision rather than contrast. Designed and crafted in Europe as part of Luna Fashion House. European atelier construction since 1990.

Fit
True to size, tailored through the bodice and natural waist. The square neckline sits cleanly across the collarbones, framed by the piping. Short sleeves fit true to arm measurement. The A-line midi skirt finishes at mid-calf. Between sizes, choose the smaller for a closer tailored line or the larger for more ease across the body. See the Luna sizing guide for measurements. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 2. The length is 46” from the back of the neck to the hem on a size 2.

Styling
For executive daytime and board meetings, layer the Natasha Tailored Blazer in Sand Beige over the dress for tonal contrast.
For client dinners and afternoon presentations, carry the Klara Structured Mini Handbag with pearl drops.
For memorial services and formal daytime occasions, the Agatha Pearl Detail Blazer in Ivory layers cleanly over the square neckline.
For the day that turns into evening, switch to the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Black and satin heels.
For travel days where one dress must carry several rooms, the Iris Short Tailored Coat in Deep Black layers cleanly for arrival.
Silver reads cleaner with the black-and-white piping than warm gold; hold one metal across earrings, bracelet, and watch.

Care
Machine washable on a gentle cycle. Air dry. Steam or iron on low if needed. Spot clean gently. Do not bleach. Store on a broad padded hanger.

The coat over it

The white piping at the square neck of the black Rina midi is a cue for an ivory coat. The Ivory Belted Midi Coat, Linea ($770) sits close to that white and runs 2 inches past the dress in our measurements. On a cold day, the Gray Herringbone Wool Wrap Coat, Nicole ($825) measures the same length as the dress, so both hems meet at mid calf. Rina and the Linea coat come to $1,365 together.

Why Luna Fashion House

Every piece is designed and handmade in our own European atelier in a small, limited run, so what you wear is made with care rather than mass produced. We have made occasion wear this way since 1990, and we offer 30 day returns so you can order with confidence.

Questions buyers ask about the Rina Midi Dress

How does the Rina Midi Dress fit, and what size does the model wear?

The Rina runs true to size and is shaped through the bodice and natural waist. Our model is 5 foot 9 and wears size 2, and on her the A-line skirt reaches mid calf. Between sizes, the smaller gives a closer line and the larger gives more ease, and our sizing guide has the measurements.

What is the Rina Midi Dress made of, and how do I wash it?

The Rina is a textured weave of viscose and elastane from a European mill. Wash it on a gentle machine cycle, let it air dry, and never bleach it. A low iron or a steamer handles creases, and a broad padded hanger keeps the shoulders neat.

What do I wear with the Rina Midi Dress?

The Rina cropped blazer ($420) shares the white piping, so the two read as one suit. For a board meeting, the Agatha pearl detail blazer in ivory ($680) picks up the white at the neckline. Our boardroom outfit guide for women over 45 features the dress, and the Wedding Guest Dresses and Jumpsuits collection covers the weekends.

How fast does the Rina dress ship, and what if it is not right?

Orders ship free within the US and arrive from our US warehouse in 2 to 5 days. If the length or the fit is not right for you, you have 30 days to send it back with no questions asked.

Is the Rina true to size?
Yes. It runs true to size with a fitted silhouette and gentle stretch. For a closer fit, size down one.
What is a square neckline and why does it matter?
A square neckline is cut in a clean horizontal line across the front of the dress, framing the collarbone and décolletage. Tailors favor it because it lengthens the neck, draws the eye across rather than down, and photographs with clean lines. It gives the Rina a couture detail that a standard V-neck or round-neck midi does not have.
What is the white piping and how does it look?
The white piping is a thin contrasting trim along the neckline. It is quiet rather than bold, a line that sharpens the cut without drawing attention to itself, the way European atelier tailoring finishes an edge.
What occasions is this dress best suited for?
Professional and evening occasions: executive meetings, client dinners, corporate events, cocktail hours, anniversary dinners, memorial services, theater evenings, and gallery openings. The square neckline and the piping give it more than a plain black sheath, while the styling options keep it right for daily executive wear.
Does the matching Rina Jacket exist?
Yes. The Rina Jacket is made to pair with this dress as a coordinated set. Luna clients wear the pair for boardroom events, client meetings, and formal professional occasions where a matching set reads as deliberate.
Can I wear this to the boardroom?
Yes. The Rina is made for executive daytime. Pair it with the matching Rina Jacket for the boardroom, or with any Luna tailored blazer in black, camel, or navy. The midi length and the square neckline project authority without reading as restrictive.
Can this go from day to evening without changing?
Yes. The Rina is made to carry from a 9 AM meeting to a 7 PM dinner. Switch from pearl studs and a structured daytime handbag to drop earrings and an evening clutch, and the dress does the rest.
Is this dress appropriate for a memorial service?
Yes. The clean silhouette, the square neckline, and the black are appropriate for memorial services and funeral receptions, where restraint matters. The white piping is subtle enough that the dress still reads as solemn.
How does this compare to the Lola Fitted Dress in Black?
Both are black midi dresses for professional and evening occasions. The Lola Fitted in Black is fully minimalist with no ornament. The Rina Elegant Midi offers a little more design through its square neckline, white piping, and textured fabric with a button detail. The woman who wants nothing added chooses the Lola. The woman who wants one considered detail chooses the Rina.
What is viscose and elastane as a fabric blend?
Viscose is a soft, breathable fiber made from plant cellulose that drapes well and sits softly against the skin. Elastane adds gentle stretch and shape recovery across many wears. Together they make a cloth that is comfortable all day, resists wrinkling, and photographs with a soft finish. European ateliers use the blend where comfort and structure must coexist.
How should I care for this dress?
Machine washable on a gentle cycle. Air dry. Steam or iron on low if needed. Spot clean gently when needed. Do not bleach.
Is this dress produced in limited quantities?
Yes. Each Rina is made in small runs at a European atelier. When a size is unavailable, restock is not guaranteed.
Where does the Rina ship from?
The dress ships from California. Orders are dispatched the same or next business day with complimentary standard delivery within the continental United States, arriving in up to 5 business days. A 30 day return window applies.
Why do women choose the Rina Elegant Midi?
Because the cut flatters, the black is easy to style, and the same dress goes under a blazer for a work event and out to dinner with drop earrings. The square neckline and the white piping are what make it feel designed rather than plain. Flattering and versatile is the short version.

The cut is very flattering and the black color makes it easy to style. I paired it with a blazer for a work event and later wore it with statement earrings for dinner.
