Why do we love this dress?
It is made from velvet that feels incredibly soft on the skin, while the generous stretch ensures ease of movement. The universally flattering wine colour adds an extra layer of sophistication, complementing every skin tone.
Why should I buy this dress?
You are going to fall in love with the sparkly embellishment at the side waist that adds a perfect dose of glam. Additionally, the draped skirt offers a feminine finish.
Where would I wear this dress?
Dress to impress and wear it to a formal celebration, a night out, or a special event where you want to stand out with elegance.
What shoes should I wear with this dress?
We styled the look with CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Tangueva Alta 100 Metallic Snake-effect Leather Sandals. This pair boasts a metallic snakeskin finish for a visually striking appeal, complemented by intertwined straps that frame your feet beautifully. Oh, and the ankle strap with buckle fastening allows for a customised fit.
What bag should I wear with this dress?
We styled the look with GABRIELA HEARST Demi Velvet Clutch Bag. Beautifully complementing the Alex Evenings dress, this accessory comes in a soft, rounded shape and features a magnetic fastening front flap for a secure look. The roomy interior is perfect to keep a few evening essentials, including your phone, card and keys.
What we don't love about this dress?
The velvet fabric could be prone to attracting lint or showing wear over time, so it may need extra care to maintain its pristine appearance.
