Off the Shoulder Evening Gown with Asymmetric Fold
This off the shoulder evening gown folds a wide panel of fabric across the collarbones on a diagonal, so the neckline sits lower on one shoulder than the other. Long sleeves, a column skirt that sweeps the floor, one colourway in wine red, and a size run from US 2 to US 26W. The product specifications list the hollow-to-hem length as 147–155 cm (58–61 in), drafted for a 160–175 cm frame, so on most people it is full-length and intended for heels. Dry clean only. Imported.

How to Wear It

What hollow-to-hem means and why it decides the hem
Hollow-to-hem is measured from the notch at the base of your throat straight down to the hem, and it is the single number that tells you where a long gown will finish on you. This one is drafted at 147–155 cm (58–61 in) for a wearer between 160 and 175 cm. Measure your own hollow-to-floor with the shoes you plan to wear, and compare. If your figure is smaller than the gown's, the extra length pools on the floor, which reads as a train from the front and as a trip hazard on stairs; if it is larger, the hem lifts and the column line breaks. Neither is a fault in the gown, and both are cheap to fix at a tailor — but it is much easier to know before the night than on it.
What to Pair It With
Bare shoulders are the point, so keep jewelry to earrings and skip a necklace. Heels, because the hem is drafted for them. A wrap you can drop, not a coat you have to keep on.
Care Instructions
Dry clean only. Hang the gown on a padded hanger between wears.
