Product Details

Cut from silk velvet in a deep midnight navy, this is a dress that moves with the light.
Climbing the bodice is a trailing vine of hand-embroidered roses, worked entirely by hand. Blush, dusty rose, mauve and antique-gold blooms gather along copper-toned stems, their leaves shaded in soft green and lifted with unexpected flashes of cobalt blue. The embroidery curves over one hip and continues across the low, open back, so the dress is as considered from behind as it is from the front.
The silhouette is quietly confident — a bias-cut slip with fine straps, a deep V neckline and a softly scooped back, falling to a full maxi length that skims rather than clings.

Fabric — Sumptuous silk velvet with a deep, light-catching pile, in a hand-finished midnight navy.
Embroidery — Hand-embroidered trailing rose vine in blush, dusty rose, mauve and antique gold, with green and cobalt-blue foliage on copper stems.
Silhouette — Bias-cut slip gown with fine straps, a deep V neckline and a low, scooped open back.
Handmade — Hand-embroidered in Vietnam in a very limited production run; each piece subtly unique.
Care — Specialist dry clean only. Store on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight; steam gently to refresh the pile.
