Margaret | Women’s Modern Fit Satin Slit Maxi Dress Image

Pure evening glamour

There are invitations that call for something special, and this is the dress for them. The soft sheen catches the light, the straight neckline is clean and modern, and the long skirt pools gracefully at your feet. When you walk, the slit adds a flash of movement that feels confident rather than daring. You arrive feeling glamorous and leave having had a wonderful time, which is exactly what an evening dress should do.

Fitted on top, freedom below

The bodice sits close and neat under slim straps, then the skirt flares out from the waist in generous folds that skim your hips. The high slit opens as you walk, so you can climb steps, cross a dance floor and slip into a car without lifting your hem. At the back, the crossed straps hold everything in place. It is a dress you can dance in all night, not one you simply stand still in.

Black-tie weddings and formal parties

Picture a black-tie wedding in a country house, a formal anniversary dinner or a gala evening with friends. This dress fits all of them beautifully. Strappy heeled sandals and a small clutch keep it elegant; a soft wrap or a faux fur stole covers your shoulders when the evening cools. Keep your jewellery delicate and your hair swept up so the neckline and the criss-cross back can shine all evening long.

Your questions about this piece

Take your usual UK size: the size guide matches XS to 3XL with UK 6 to UK 18, with bust, waist and hip measurements. The bodice is fitted, so go by your bust and waist; between two sizes, choose the larger one.

The straps are slim and cross at the back, as on the photos, so a strapless or stick-on bra is the neatest choice. The fitted bodice gives a smooth line at the front.

Your order is prepared within 24 to 48 hours, then delivered in 8 to 15 days; costs and the free-delivery threshold are shown in your basket. Plan ahead for the event date. You can return it within 14 days from delivery.

Polished, comfortable, in UK sizes

We choose pieces that look polished and feel comfortable from the first wear: boots for wet pavements, knits for chilly mornings, dresses for the days that matter.

Sizes are given in UK measurements, payment is secure, and if something is not quite right, you have 14 days to send it back.
