Description

Deep wine red, cut as a sheath: straight, close to the body, finishing at the knee. The knot at the waist is the one piece of drama — a twist of the fabric that throws soft pleats across the midsection and takes the severity out of a pencil line.

It is the desk-to-dinner dress in the most literal sense: a meeting in the morning and a restaurant at night with a change of earrings.

The fabric

A stretch crepe with weight to it. It moves with you and comes out of a day’s wear without the creases a lighter crepe collects. The neckline is a plain round, deliberately empty so a necklace or a scarf has somewhere to sit.

How it fits

Cut to a US medium. The zip is hidden at the centre back, which keeps the line clean from shoulder to hem. A sheath is the least forgiving cut there is, so this is one to try rather than guess.

Looking after it

Cold machine wash and hang to dry. It presses easily if you want the seams crisp; a warm iron on the reverse is enough. Wash it with like colours for the first few goes.

Among petite dresses special occasion options this is the one you will wear more than once, and a chic dress to impress without a pattern anywhere on it — a korean fashion formal dress that behaves like a work dress.

Why we took this one

The knot at the waist is what takes the severity out of a pencil line, and it is the only thing happening on the dress. Desk in the morning, restaurant at night, one change of earrings.

A sheath is the most formal shape a dress can take and the one most likely to read as severe, which is why so few of them get worn twice. Softening it with a single detail rather than a print keeps it in the wardrobe — and burgundy is the colour that carries an evening without announcing one.

Three ways to wear it

  • Work — a court shoe and a single necklace.
  • Dinner — the same dress, a change of earrings, a better bag.
  • Winter — opaque tights and a wool coat rather than a padded one.

Before you order

Cut to a US medium. A sheath is the least forgiving cut there is, so this is one to try rather than guess — the stretch crepe gives, but the line does not hide anything. The zip is hidden at the centre back and the neckline is deliberately empty so a necklace has somewhere to sit. Anything bulky over the top undoes the line. Among petite dresses special occasion options, the one you will wear more than once.
