Black Velvet Plunge Column Gown

Evening in its purest form. Black velvet, a deep V and a straight fall to the floor: nothing more is needed. It is the gown for winter black tie, holiday parties and the kind of evening that calls for something rich and quiet.

Black velvet is cut into a long column with a deep plunging V at the front and wide straps over the shoulders. The fabric does the work: the pile absorbs light so the silhouette looks almost carved, while the drape moves softly as she walks. A slit at the back keeps the long line easy to move in.

Fabric

The gown is cut in velvet, with a deep, light-absorbing pile and a fluid drape.

Care

Dry clean only. Water flattens and marks velvet pile, so a specialist dry cleaner is the safest choice. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Never iron velvet. Steam from the inside to lift the pile. Hang velvet with space around it so the pile is not crushed. Store on a padded hanger in a breathable cotton garment bag, away from direct sunlight.
