<-h2->Velvet midi dresses in deep colour<-h2-> Velvet catches light and holds attention. This edit of velvet midi dresses moves between bias-cut column shapes, long-sleeved styles with a high neck, wrap fronts, fitted bodycons and pieces with volume through the skirt. Velvet has a depth flat fabrics cannot reach, deepening every colour it touches, from black and wine through emerald, navy and plum. Devore and crushed finishes add movement where the plain version stays still. Midi length keeps things composed, long enough to read as considered, short enough to move in. Sleeves run from none at all to full and gathered. Necklines are cut low, high, square or draped depending on the mood of the dress. Separates work in the same register, a velvet top against a satin skirt shifting the texture without breaking the tone. Winter weddings, Christmas parties, birthdays and long dinners all belong to this fabric. Keep everything else restrained and let the dress do what velvet does.
