Sleeves are the point here. The velvet is soft and light with a low sheen, cut with a deep V-neck, a high waist and an A-line skirt that flutters at the hem, but the detail that sets it apart is the lantern sleeve closing tight at the cuff. Simplee makes the practical case: a narrow cuff stays out of the way of a glass. Button detail sits at the front and two pockets are set into the side seams. Three colourways, teal blue, burgundy and orange, and the listing is still new to the catalogue.

The short version

Start here

Lantern sleeves with tight cuffs

The sleeve balloons through the forearm and closes at the wrist, so it carries volume without catching on things. Simplee frames it as the sleeve you can hold a drink in at a crowded party, which is a fair account of what a narrow cuff buys.

Deep V with a camisole option

The neckline dips, and the listing suggests a camisole underneath for anywhere that calls for less. That lets one dress cover both a dinner and a daytime office party, depending entirely on what goes under it.

Pockets inside a velvet A-line

Two side pockets are built into the skirt, which is rare on velvet because the extra layer tends to show through the pile. The A-line cut and the fluttery hem leave enough room for them to sit flat when empty.

Fit, honestly

Sizes run S to XL against US 4-6, 8-10, 12-14 and 16-18. The waist sits high and the skirt flares from there, so the question at the fitting stage is the bust and shoulders rather than the hips. Wash it in a laundry bag without bleach, then hang it rather than tumble it.
