Layering note
Unlined. Opaque on the rig, but the bias drape follows whatever is beneath it closely.

3 out of 53 · 1 reviewA bias satin slip in champagne. Opaque, unlined, and it records every mark.
The backlit photograph above was taken on our fixed rig. The rig conditions are published. We do not claim any piece blocks light completely.
Floor standing; seated, the bias releases and the hem pools at the foot.
Measured seated: 44 cm below the knee at the base size. How this is measured.
Light — the hem lifts readily in moving air. Expect to hold it on an exposed walkway.
This is a description of how the cloth behaves, not a promise about the weather.
This piece is sheer or unlined. Your bag will remind you to look at the layering note before checkout.

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.
Satin is the most photographed and least forgiving fabric we carry. It reads opaque on the rig at 165 g/m² with no lining at all, because the weave is dense even though the cloth is thin.
What it does do is show things. Water spots. Fingernail catches. A crease where you sat. None of that comes out on its own, and we would rather you knew before dinner than after.
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.

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.
Beautiful and I get a lot of use out of it, but the warning about satin recording everything is not an exaggeration. A single drop of water at dinner left a visible mark for the rest of the night. Three stars is about the fabric, not the make — the make is good.
