Forest green velvet, gathered at the shoulder and pleated from the waist. Corinne is cut long — 45 inches from shoulder to hem — so it falls to mid-calf rather than stopping awkwardly at the shin, and the pleats let the skirt move instead of pressing against the leg. The V is cut shallow enough to wear without anything underneath it. Green rather than black is the whole point: it does the same work at the same events and nobody else is wearing it.
Why You’ll Love It
-
Gathered Sleevehead: adds width across the top of the silhouette, balancing a fuller hip and squaring off a sloped line.
-
Pleated Skirt: releases from the waist seam so the fabric swings away from the body rather than clinging to it.
-
Measured Midi: 45 inches shoulder to hem, which lands at mid-calf on most heights instead of the in-between length.
-
Forest Depth: dark enough to carry an evening, green enough to avoid arriving in the same black dress as everyone else.
-
Shallow V Opening: cut to flatter without needing a camisole to make it wearable.
