• Heavy satin woven fabric with a smooth, light-catching finish that reads polished without effort
• Structured puff sleeves with a flutter quality - voluminous at the shoulder, cropped at the elbow for a considered silhouette
• Satin bow details at the waist, adding definition and a deliberate decorative note at either side
• Godet panelling through the skirt creates gentle flare and movement from the hip down to midi length
• Round neckline and fitted bodice offer a clean, tailored front with all the detail working at the sides

A dress that does the work without announcing it. The combination of structured sleeves, waist bows and a godet skirt makes this one of those pieces that photographs well and wears even better - the kind of thing you reach for when the occasion calls for something considered rather than obvious. The midi length and fitted bodice make it a strong choice for evening events, cocktail parties, wedding receptions or a dinner where you want to arrive looking like you thought about it. Style as the model does, with strappy heeled sandals kept minimal to let the dress lead. For a cooler evening, a sleek, fitted blazer worn open keeps the silhouette intact. Keep jewellery fine - small gold earrings or a delicate chain sit well against the satin without competing. This is a dress that works across occasions and seasons, and will still feel right when you rediscover it next year.
