Yes, "mine" is a possessive pronoun, and la mienne is its feminine singular equivalent. French possessive pronouns always begin with an article - see Le mien/le tien/le sien/etc = Mine/yours/his/hers/its (French Possessive Pronouns)
Why does mienne have an article before it? Isn't mine a possessive pronoun?

I understand, so because it is followed by an article "la mienne" c'est is used.

Can I say "Cette robe que je porte au travail" instead of,
"C'est la robe que je porte au travail"
