This full-length crepe gown is built around the tension between the fabric’s fluid behaviour and the rigour of its construction. Premium crepe has a surface that neither absorbs nor reflects light in the conventional way; instead it scatters it, giving the garment a matte, almost velvety quality that reads as quietly opulent. The gown is long-sleeved, with a close-fitting body and a hem that grazes the floor. The pattern, an all-over paisley-derived motif in gold, copper, and black printed on a near-black ground, references both the richly decorated textiles of West African ceremonial dress and the kind of ornate print associated with Devor\u00e9 velvet or Fortuny. The back features a deep cut-out at the waist, the gown’s only concession to exposure and the detail that transforms it from formal to fashion. A long-sleeved backless gown in printed crepe is a relatively rare garment, and this piece understands why: the combination is both unexpected and entirely coherent.<\/p>\n
Available in sizes 6 to 18. Fabric: Premium printed crepe. Care: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve print colour. Press on the reverse with a low iron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
