Styling Guidance

The asymmetric lace and slit detail mean this dress works well kept relatively simple elsewhere, so pair it with heeled sandals or a strappy heel and minimal jewellery to let the dress lead. A structured clutch or small shoulder bag finishes the look without competing with the lace detailing. Black is easy to build around, but it also works well with silver or gold accessories for evening occasions, or a tailored coat in camel or black for cooler months.

• Works well with: heeled sandals, strappy heels, structured clutch bags, tailored coats
• Colour palette: black, silver, gold, camel

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable for evening events? Yes, the satin fabric, V-neck, and asymmetric lace detailing make it well suited to evening events, weddings, and dressier occasions.

Is this comfortable for all-day wear? The thin straps and V-neck keep the shape simple, though as a dressier satin piece it's best suited to evening wear rather than long days on your feet.

How should this be washed or cared for? As a polyester satin piece, we'd recommend a gentle or hand wash and checking the care label for full instructions.

What does the asymmetric lace and slit detail look like? The lace sits asymmetrically across the dress for added texture, while the slit sits through the leg to allow easier movement without changing the overall silhouette.
