Classic elegance for winter evenings

Some occasions call for something truly timeless. This dress has that quiet, classic glamour. The soft plush bodice with its high neck feels sophisticated and warm, while the full skirt brings drama and movement. Add pearl earrings and a beaded clutch, and you look polished from every angle. You walk into the party feeling graceful and assured, with a hint of vintage charm that simply never goes out of style, year after year.

Fitted on top, full and swishy below

The bodice fits neatly through the shoulders and arms, so you look sleek and feel covered, while the waist seam gives a defined shape. Below, the pleated skirt opens out into a full, generous volume that swings with every step and gives you plenty of room to sit and dance. And there are pockets, perfect for your lipstick and phone. It feels comfortable and elegant from the first toast to the last dance.

Christmas parties and winter weddings

This is the dress for the festive season and the winter calendar: a Christmas party, a New Year's Eve dinner, a winter wedding or a night at the opera. Pair it with sheer black tights, heeled courts and a sparkly clutch, then add a faux fur stole or a long coat for the journey. It also suits a smart winter christening. Whenever there is a reason to dress up when it is cold, choose this.
