Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress for Women

The Melissa is the kind of dress you put on and immediately feel like yourself, but better. That cut-out waist detail and flowing pleated fabric do all the heavy lifting so you don't have to.

  • Adjustable drawstring waist cinches in exactly the right spot and lets you customize your fit
  • Flowing pleated fabric that moves beautifully with every step, genuinely stunning in motion
  • Chic cut-out waist detail adds a modern, feminine edge without going over the top
  • Sleek side split and maxi-length silhouette keep things elegant with just the right amount of attitude
  • Spaghetti strap, sleeveless design with a stylish diagonal neckline, effortlessly polished
  • Soft polyester-spandex blend gives you just enough stretch for all-day comfort
  • Pullover style with no fussy closures, on in seconds, out the door looking great

Wear it with strappy sandals for a vacation dinner, heeled mules for a night out, or layer a linen blazer over it when you want something a little more put-together, the Melissa handles every scenario like it was made for it.

Sizing: True to size. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more relaxed, flowing fit through the waist and hips.

Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 20 reviews.

The red Melissa dress is absolutely gorgeous and the pleats hang so nicely. My only issue is the drawstring came a bit loose in the wash, though it cinches fine still. Otherwise this is a solid maxi that works for dressier casual occasions.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

Ordered the black in size small and it fits like it was made for me. The ruched cut-out waist is such a cool design detail that actually flatters my body type. I wore it to a casual dinner last weekend and someone asked where I got it. The flowing fabric feels quality for the price.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

I grabbed the light pink version and have genuinely worn it three times in two weeks. The pleated fabric actually does move beautifully, not like other maxi dresses I own. The adjustable drawstring lets me cinch it perfectly at my natural waist, and the cut-out detail is classy without being too much. For under 50 bucks, this is incredible.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

This dress is incredible. The cut-out waist is tastefully sexy without being over the top, the pleats move beautifully when you walk, and at this price point it's honestly a steal. Wearing it to brunch this weekend and I cannot wait.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

Cannot believe how good this dress looks for the price. The adjustable drawstring means it fits my weird proportions perfectly, the cut-out waist detail is incredibly flattering, and the flowing pleats make me feel elegant just walking to the mailbox. This is my third Melissa because I keep buying different colors.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

I ordered size S in light blue and the adjustable drawstring lets me cinch it perfectly at my natural waist. So flattering and the pleated fabric actually flows instead of clinging to me like other maxi dresses I own.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

The Melissa is pretty and fits okay in my size M black. The cut-out waist and pleating are nice design choices. However, after three wears the fabric started pilling in spots and I'm worried it won't hold up long term. For the price it's decent but I expected better durability.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

Got my size L in black and the fit is really comfortable. The cut-out waist detail is chic and not overdone. Only reason I'm not rating five stars is I wish the pleats held their shape longer after washing.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

The adjustable waist is convenient and the pleats are lovely. Light pink looks great on me, though the sizing runs a tiny bit large in the shoulders for an XS.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

White version fits beautifully and the material quality is solid. Only minor concern is it wrinkles easily, but that's typical for this fabric type.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

Love everything about my black size M except the drawstring can slip occasionally. The pleated fabric and cut-out waist are stunning though.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

The pleated fabric creates movement that's actually noticeable. Got compliments on the red version at a family dinner. This dress delivers on its promises.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

I've worn my black Melissa to date night, the office, and a weekend trip. The adjustable waist means I can style it different ways. Highly recommend.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

Fabric quality is impressive for under $50. Cut-out waist detail doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. Holding up beautifully after several washes.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

Light blue looks fresh and works with sneakers or heels. The pleats move so naturally when I walk. Already planning to buy another color.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

I wore my size M in black to work events and casual dinners. The fit is adjustable so it works for different occasions. Fabric breathes really well too.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

Got it in light blue and it's my go-to for brunches now. The ruching is subtle and flattering. Material feels quality for the price point.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

The waist cut-out is exactly what I needed to feel confident and stylish. Light pink color is soft and feminine. This dress makes me feel like myself but elevated.

Melissa Ruched Cut-out Waist Maxi Dress

The adjustable drawstring waist is a game changer for my petite frame. I got the XS in black and it fits perfectly without alterations.

We bring you the latest looks in clothing and accessories, dresses, jackets, bags, shoes, and more, and our mission is simple: make on-trend fashion affordable and accessible worldwide.

Where are your products made and are they made sustainably?

ZEYA works with a carefully selected network of production partners, and every manufacturer we collaborate with is vetted against our standards for craftsmanship, fair working conditions, and consistent quality. Each piece passes a quality check before it ships, so the fit, fabric, and finish match what you see on site.

On materials, we're increasingly choosing natural and natural-blend fabrics like cotton, linen, and viscose, and working to bring more recycled fibers into our collections. Our orders also ship in recycled and recyclable packaging to help cut down on unnecessary waste.

We're committed to producing more responsibly over time, favoring durable, wear-again styles over throwaway fashion, and if you ever have a specific question about a product or its materials, our team is happy to help at support@zeya-brand.com.
