When it comes to versatile fashion, the Amira Black Magic Garden Dress is a wardrobe staple that offers endless styling possibilities. This timeless full-length dress features a panelled, functional button-down V-neckline with a relaxed sleeve, a 3-tiered, fully lined button-down skirt, and our favourite detail—pockets! The removable waist tie is the secret to making this dress uniquely yours, allowing you to style it in different ways to suit any occasion.

Today on Kelly’s Style Diary, we’re exploring four chic ways to tie the waist belt and transform your Amira Dress with a simple knot or bow. Let’s dive in!

1. The Classic Centre Bow – A Feminine Finish

For an effortlessly elegant and timeless look, tie the waist belt in a bow at the centre of your waistline. This styling method enhances the dress’s silhouette, accentuating your waist while maintaining a soft and feminine aesthetic. Perfect for brunch with friends or a garden party, the classic bow is a go-to style that exudes charm and sophistication.

How to style it: Pair with dainty earrings, nude heels, and a structured handbag for a polished, put-together look.

2. The Side Bow – An Organic, Effortless Knot

Looking for something a little more relaxed? Tie the waist belt in a slightly off-center bow on either side of your waist. The trick here is to keep one end slightly longer than the other, creating a natural, organic drape. This asymmetrical touch gives off a chic, carefree vibe that works beautifully for casual outings.

How to style it: Wear with ankle boots and a crossbody bag for an effortlessly stylish day-to-night look.

3. Bow at the Back – A Sleek, Streamlined Effect

If you love a sleek, uninterrupted front silhouette, tie the waist belt in a bow at the back. This method subtly defines your waist while allowing the tiered skirt to take center stage. The result? A streamlined, elongated look that’s perfect for formal occasions or workwear chic.

How to style it: Elevate this look with statement earrings, classic pumps, and a structured blazer for a sophisticated edge.

4. Remove the Waist Tie – A Relaxed, Effortless Vibe

For those days when you want to embrace a more relaxed fit, simply remove the waist tie altogether. The Amira Dress still looks effortlessly stylish without the belt, letting its natural silhouette flow beautifully. This option is ideal for a breezy, laid-back look while still maintaining an elegant feel.

How to style it: Pair with flat sandals and a woven tote bag for an easygoing, summer-ready outfit.
