You may or may not have secured a date for this Valentine’s Day, but if you’re willing to shell out, your wallet can secure this flirty dress from Johanna Ortiz. The Colombian designer, known for her feminine shapes and dramatic proportions, doesn’t stray far from her trademark aesthetics with bold ruching at the cuffs and a seductive square neckline. The deep red says “I love you” without being too cheesy, so you could easily still wear this on future date nights.
