Ribbed velvet gives this one a fine vertical stripe that catches light along its length, and the cloth is thick enough for autumn without a lining; Simplee notes that it stays opaque regardless. The neckline is a sleeveless halter, the waist is empire and smocked, and the skirt flares into a loose A-line that reaches the ankle. Four solid colourways: navy blue, army green, burnt orange and lake green. No print anywhere, which makes it the plainest of the velvet maxis and the easiest to accessorise.

What the ribbed velvet halter maxi actually does

Four solid colours, no print and no sleeves: the velvet maxi that leaves the decisions to the jewellery.

1

Vertical rib in the pile

The velvet is ribbed rather than flat, so it carries a fine vertical texture that reflects light in lines. It gives a solid colour some depth, and it is the reason these four shades do not look like plain jersey under evening lighting.

2

Thick enough to skip a layer

Simplee describes the fabric as warm and substantial for autumn and early winter, built without lining and still not see-through. On a sleeveless dress that means the arms are the only cold part, which a blazer or coat solves.

3

A-line that moves at the hem

The skirt is cut loose and flared rather than fitted, long enough to cover the legs and wide enough to walk, sit and dance in through a full day. Simplee positions the dress between formal and casual, and this shape is what allows that.

Fit, honestly

An empire elastic smocked waist sits under the bust and the skirt falls from there, so the dress accommodates a spread of shapes with no zip involved. Sleeveless halter at the top, maxi length at the bottom. Machine washable in cold water; Simplee says it does not shrink or fade.
