Why do we love this dress?

We are obsessed with the plush velvet construction of this Alex Perry dress that feels remarkably smooth against the skin. The soft blue shade adds to the sophistication, while the pointed shoulders make you appear bold and confident.

Why should I buy this dress?

This dress has a lightly boned bodice to softly accentuate the look of your natural feminine structure. It is also accented with a generous split at the back so you can walk with ease throughout the evening.

Where would I wear this dress?

You can wear this dress to many different occasions, from wedding parties and upscale galas to special romantic dates and black-tie events. It is also an ideal pick for an intimate dinner with your loved ones.

What shoes should I wear with this dress?

We styled the look with GUCCI 100mm GG Velvet Slingback Pumps. In a matching plush texture and shade, this pair has sleek pointed toes and the label’s iconic logo motif throughout. The slingback ankle straps have adjustable buckle fastenings, complete with gold cone stiletto heels.

What bag should I wear with this dress?

We styled the look with TOM FORD Monarch Medium Glossed Croc-Effect Leather Shoulder Bag. It features a glossy cream finish that is accented with glistening gold hardware, cut into a structured silhouette with a removable shoulder strap that lets you sling it across the body or carry it as a clutch.

What we don't love about this dress?

Velvet is prone to leaving permanent water marks, which compromise the overall quality of this midi dress.
