Pure Silk Velvet Evening Dress

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 pure silk velvet – a real treat of a fabric. Incredibly soft, elegant and light to wear, it has a truly incredible painterly shimmer and reflects the light wonderfully. Although this textile is not made in Britain, we have added this to our mix to expand our evening wear offering.
