Evening Dress in Silky Velvet

Long Skirted Tailored Dress with Three Quarter Length Sleeves 

The Downing Dress is elegant and easy to wear. While it stands on its own beautifully, it is cleverly designed to sit perfectly under our Downing coats.

It is designed to fall to mid-low calf length, just shy of the coat length, and has a waisted, skirted shape. It is fully lined in silk.

The sleeves reach a few inches below the elbow and have a slitted fold back cuff detail.

Darted pleats to front and rear created a superbly flattering shape that is at once elegant and easy to wear.

The Fabric

This is a so-called "silk velvet', being a silk-viscose mix. Superbly soft and light to wear, it has a special shimmer and reflects the light wonderfully. Although it is not made in Britain, we have added this to our mix for evening wear.
