Formal Silk 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

Silk Matka is a linen-like silk that is light, cool and elegant. The weave is linen-like, but Matka creases far less than linen and transitions well across seasons. The colour is a subtle light buttery straw – wonderfully smart and perfect for co-ordinating.

Composition

Outer: 100% Silk

Lining: 100% Silk

Body Shape 

Hugely wearable, the Downing Dress is flattering on shapes.

Lining
