The piece the rest of this catalogue gets measured against. A short-sleeve V-neck velvet maxi in 100% polyester, soft and flowy and stated not sheer, sold across seven colourways that take in both solids and burnout florals. The waist is smocked elastic and sits high, the hem runs to the ankle, and a single button closes the back. Its review pool is the largest here by a wide margin, which means the fit questions have been argued out in public already.

What matters on this one

Start here

Seven colourways on one pattern

Earthy orange, burgundy, navy blue, grey blue, a bronze and jade pairing, and two florals in green and brown. The cut does not change between them, so the choice comes down to how loud the dress should be at a given event.

Burnout florals made in the weave

The floral colourways use a burnout technique rather than a surface print, so the pattern is built into the cloth itself. Against the solids that is the difference between a dress reading as one block of colour and one reading as texture.

The longest review history in the catalogue

No other model here has gathered anything close to this many public ratings, pooled across all the colourways. That volume is the real argument for it: sizing, drape and colour accuracy have been reported on repeatedly rather than guessed at.

Fit, honestly

Sized off the published chart, with a smocked high empire waist that stretches, a button at the back, and an ankle-length skirt cut full. The elastic waist absorbs most of the sizing question, while the V neck and short sleeves are fixed. Simplee still points buyers at the chart first.
