Description

The ALEX PERRY Gathered Stretch-Velvet Midi Dress feels classic and refined. For me, this dress is a winning choice because it boasts figure-flattering features, like a boned bodice with sculptural peaks at the neckline, padded shoulders, and a twist at one hip with draped detail that adds extra intrigue. I am drawn to the lustrous texture of plush velvet in a deep purple that speaks of royalty, and a slit at the back midi hem gives just a peek of leg.

Why do we love this dress?

Velvet and a rich purple shade just feel right. I love how this dress exudes femininity without being over the top, and hugs at the waist with its twisted draped detail while adding fluidity to the look.

Why should I buy this dress?

I adore this dress because it’s a true show-stopper and features the most flattering, feminine silhouette with a boned bodice, long sleeves, and a curve-defining style. And, the padded shoulders serve up the same elegance but with a sculptural spin.

Where would I wear this dress?

It’s a great pick for cocktail parties and upscale events. As for me, I am definitely looking forward to rocking this dress at a black-tie wedding this season.

What shoes should I wear with this dress?

I styled the look with the VALENTINO GARAVANI Vlogo Mesh Slingback Pumps. They have a mesh upper for dimension, while the pointed toes with slingback straps feel timeless. A classic black pair with an elevated design can never fail to impress me.

What bag should I wear with this dress?

I styled the look with the TOM FORD Nobile Croc-Effect Patent-Leather Clutch. This clutch is made with patent leather that gives a beautiful shine and has a magnetic snap fastening with the brand’s ‘T’ logo hardware. I think this single versatile piece has the power to save any look.

What we don't love about this dress?

This maxi dress doesn’t lack anything in style. But just a side note; velvet fabric is prone to attracting dust and requires careful storage.
