Black velvet, cut like a coat dress. Delphine runs a single-breasted button placket from the round neckline all the way to the hem, and takes the waist in at a seam rather than hiding it under a belt. The pile is a cotton blend, which gives it weight and stops it flaring into shine under a camera flash — the failure mode of cheaper velvet. It is the dress that covers a dinner, a service and a party without changing.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Full Button Placket: opens the length of the dress, so it can be worn closed, layered over a slip, or left open at the hem for movement.
-
Nipped Waist Seam: takes volume in at the narrowest point, which shapes the dress without relying on a belt that shifts through the evening.
-
Cotton-Blend Velvet: heavier than a pure polyester pile and far less prone to catching the light in photographs.
-
Runs to 3XL: a six-size range in a silhouette that is usually cut short at XL.
-
Round Neckline: leaves clear space for a collarbone-length pendant without the two competing.
