Description
Draped rather than tailored: the whole front is folded and set by hand at a single shoulder point, then held with a concealed internal tape so the drape stays where the pattern maker put it. Nothing else in the dress is fitted, which is why it works across a wide range of shapes.
Pewter is a cool grey with a slight green cast under warm light. It is a quieter alternative to black for evening and it does not compete with jewellery.
Fabric and make
- 100% polyester duchesse satin, 210 gsm, matte face
- Unlined; the satin is double faced and opaque

Fit
Relaxed. Take your usual size. The drape accommodates a size either way — the fixed measurement is the shoulder.
Model is 180 cm and wears AU 10 with a 8 cm heel.
Flat measurements
Taken with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Bust, waist and hip are half measurements — double them to compare against your own body measurement. If you are between two sizes, the fit note above tells you which way we would go.
| Measurement (cm) | AU 6 | AU 8 | AU 10 | AU 12 | AU 14 | AU 16 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bust | 91 | 96 | 101 | 106 | 111 | 116 |
| Waist | 87 | 92 | 97 | 102 | 107 | 112 |
| Hip | 99 | 104 | 109 | 114 | 119 | 124 |
| Length, shoulder to hem | 148 | 150 | 152 | 154 | 156 | 158 |
Care
Dry clean only. Do not fold for storage — satin holds a crease and it will not come out.

Beautiful drape and very comfortable to wear for a long night. It is a polyester satin, which the description says clearly, and it feels better than that suggests.
