About This Product
This listing is for one floor-length dress with a velvet bodice, a full satin skirt joined at a high waist, lace trim and long sleeves, in five colourways and sizes S to 3XL. The maker gives the composition as 100% polyester, names the fabric as velvet with gold threads, and states a wrinkle-resistant finishing treatment. The maker publishes no finished garment length for this style, so the hemline you see is from the product photographs rather than a measurement. If an exact length matters to you, email support@splashis.com before ordering and we will ask the factory. The maker states that its sizing follows an Asian fit, roughly one to two sizes smaller than US and UK, and that measurements may vary by 2–3 cm because they are taken by hand. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one. Imported. Eligible refund requests are accepted within 30 days of delivery, subject to our Return & Refund Policy.
Who It's For
Best for:
- Winter weddings, parties and formal evenings
- Anyone who wants two textures in one dress
- A high waist with a full skirt
- Sizes S through 3XL
Why velvet and satin are put together
Velvet and satin behave in opposite ways under light, and that is the entire reason this pairing keeps coming back. Velvet has a raised pile that absorbs light and reads deep and matte from most angles; satin has a smooth face that reflects it and reads bright. Putting the absorbing fabric on the bodice and the reflecting one on the skirt means the light goes to the fullest part of the dress while the half nearest your face stays quiet. It also solves a practical problem: a full-length velvet skirt is heavy and hot, while satin carries volume at a fraction of the weight. The one thing to know is that pile fabric has a direction, so velvet can look slightly different in shade depending on which way the light crosses it.
What to Pair It With
A heel and a small clutch. Gold jewellery, which picks up the gold thread the maker describes in the velvet. Keep the hair off the shoulders to show the bodice.
Care Instructions
Treat this as an occasion piece: hang it, do not fold it, and air it after wearing rather than washing it every time. Spot-clean marks promptly with a damp cloth and no solvent. If in doubt about a stain on a decorated panel, take it to a cleaner rather than treating it yourself.
