Made for quiet sophistication, the Midi Evening Dress is cut from a velvet fabric with a tatting weave. A clean, solid finish keeps it versatile and easy to style. Finished with faux collar for subtle movement and texture. The fabric holds its shape while staying comfortable to wear through a long day or evening.

A empire silhouette skims the body and defines the shape. The crew-neck neckline frames the shoulders and neckline cleanly. The sleeves are finished to sit neatly on the arm. A empire waist marks the narrowest point and lengthens the line. The midi length falls with an easy, fluid drape. A zipper construction makes it simple to get on and off.
It is made for evening, party and wedding guest occasions and the moments that call for something considered. Style it with heels and a slim clutch to dress it up, or with flats and delicate jewellery for an easier take — the clean lines take direction either way. Choose the shade that fits the moment from Black, Green, Deep Blue, Purple, Burgundy and White.
