Check price & buyRibbed velvet again, this time sleeveless and offered in six colourways: dark green, black, wine red, pumpkin, blue green and army green. The blend is 95% polyester and 5% spandex, so there is real stretch in it, and Simplee describes the texture as light enough to avoid stuffiness indoors in winter. A V-neck sits at the top, the high waist is ruched, and the skirt flows out in an A-line. A pocket is listed, which on a formal maxi is worth knowing about in advance.

Pockets on a floor-length velvet dress change how an evening goes, phone and keys included.
Five percent spandex across a polyester velvet is what lets a fitted high waist stay comfortable through a long evening. The fabric gives where the body moves and comes back, instead of holding the shape it was cut into.
The waist sits above the natural line and the cloth is gathered there, which marks the narrowest point and lets the skirt begin higher. Simplee argues that this lengthens the leg line, and a high waist on a floor-length skirt does tend to.
Dark green, wine red, army green and blue green sit in the same saturated family; pumpkin is the outlier and the one that reads autumn hardest. Black is there for anyone who wants the ribbed texture without a colour to match.
Sleeveless with a V-neck and no closures listed, so the stretch blend means it pulls on. The high waist is the fit point to check, since everything below it is loose. Hand wash cold or use a gentle machine cycle, avoid bleach, and lay flat to dry in shade.
