Velvet in burnt orange, cut as a skater dress: deep V-neck, high waist, long sleeves narrowing to a close cuff, and a skirt that flares out and finishes with a flutter. The velvet is on the light side with a quiet sheen rather than a heavy pile, so it drapes instead of standing away from the body. Pockets are included, which velvet dresses usually leave out.

The short version

Start here

Cuffs that stay out of the way

The sleeves taper and close tight at the wrist. Simplee's own argument for it is holding a glass at a party without fabric trailing into it, and that is about right: loose velvet cuffs collect everything left on a table.

Deep V, camisole underneath

The neckline dips far enough to read as evening. The listing points out that a camisole underneath makes it office-appropriate, which is a reasonable second life for a dress bought in December.

Flutter hem on a flared skirt

The skirt is cut full from the high waist and the hem is finished with a flutter, so it lifts on a turn. On velvet that movement shows up as shifting light rather than as visible motion in the cloth.

Fit, honestly

Sizes run S at US 4-6, M at 8-10, L at 12 and XL at 14, so the top of this range is narrower than most of the brand's dresses. Long sleeves with fitted cuffs, a high waist and a mini hem. A laundry bag and no bleach; dry it flat and the pile stays even.
