Resort Evening
$239 USD
4 out of 54 · 1 reviewThe longest and most formal piece we make. Semi-formal — not a black-tie gown.
The backlit photograph above was taken on our fixed rig. The rig conditions are published. We do not claim any piece blocks light completely.
Ankle standing; seated, the hem rises to the top of the shoe and the back vent opens.
Measured seated: 38 cm below the knee at the base size. How this is measured.
Heavy — the fabric hangs against moving air rather than floating on it. Often chosen for outdoor ceremonies.
This is a description of how the cloth behaves, not a promise about the weather.

This is a one-time purchase. There is no membership, no monthly plan and no rental option.
Fibre content, care instructions and country of origin are printed on the sewn-in label of every piece and repeated here. A piece missing any of these three is not listed on this website.
This is where our range stops. It is a narrow ankle-length column in a heavy cocoa crepe with a boat neckline and no embellishment, and it is cut for a semi-formal evening.
It is not a black-tie gown and we do not sell it as one. If the invitation says black tie, this is not the dress, and we would rather say so here than let you find out at the door.
Every number below is taken from the finished garment laid flat and doubled, in centimetres and inches. Tolerance is ±1 cm. How each measurement is taken.

We publish two different sets of body measurements on every piece because one model tells you almost nothing. Whether clips were used to adjust fit is disclosed here.
Dress codes we list this under: Cocktail, Semi-formal.
Occasion labels are our suggestion, not a rule. Dress codes vary by host — always follow the invitation.
Reviews come from people who ordered this piece. Where a reviewer received a credit or a free piece in exchange for a review, that is stated on the review itself. How we handle reviews.
I appreciated being told plainly on the product page that this is not a black-tie gown. I wore it to a semi-formal rehearsal dinner and it was right for the room. Dry clean only is the only thing keeping this from five stars for me.
