Black Velvet Midi Dress - Women's Off-Shoulder Bow Christmas Party Dress
Details
Make a graceful statement in this women's black velvet midi dress, designed with a striking bow accent across the chest and shoulders. Luxurious velvet gives the dress a soft, rich finish, while the off-shoulder neckline with a sheer mesh panel adds a modern touch of interest. Wear it with sheer tights and slingback heels for Christmas parties and work dos, or with diamanté earrings and an embellished clutch for formal dinners and winter weddings.
The fitted silhouette skims the body rather than clinging, falling to a flattering midi length that feels elegant and easy to move in. The oversized bow frames the face and shoulders, drawing attention upwards and creating a beautiful focal point that needs very little extra styling. The sheer mesh panel at the shoulders keeps the look light and refined, balancing the richness of the velvet. It is the perfect dress for those occasions when you want to feel dressed up without fuss, simply add heels and a warm coat and you are ready to go, whether it is a gala, a festive dinner or a night at the theatre.
