4.5 ★Earthy OrangeVelvet maxi dress
The catalogue flagship: a short-sleeve V-neck velvet maxi carried in seven colourways.
Fabric: Velvet

$39.99
Check price & buyStretch mesh cut close, with long sleeves and a boat neckline, running to maxi length. Two choices that pull in different directions: a navy and brown floral, or a plain navy blue. The fabric is light and high in elasticity, so the dress follows the body without needing a dart or a closure to get there. Sizing is stated as true to size across S to XL.

The long sleeves are cut from the dress fabric, so coverage goes up without weight going up with it. That is what makes this a cool-weather option that still works in a heated room, which plain long-sleeve knits often do not manage.
The navy and brown floral is the busier of the two and leans boho; the plain navy reads formal and takes jewellery better. Same cut, two quite different dresses, which is worth settling before picking a size.
The care note is specific: wash cold, no bleach, hang to dry, iron low. Light stretch mesh does not forgive a hot cycle, and the hang-dry step is the one that keeps a close cut from loosening at the seams.
True to size per the maker, S to XL against US 4-6 through 16-18. Bodycon means close from shoulder to hem, and the elasticity of the mesh rather than a fastening is what gets the dress on and off.
