Description

Put your arms up at the fitting. If the sleeves stay put, that's your size, and the test matters more with a black velvet mini this close to the body than with any loose dress.

The top covers everything, neck to wrist, which keeps the short length in check. Black velvet this deep looks soft rather than severe, even under bright club lights.

Off to a club? Stiletto sandals and hoops. For a work dinner at a restaurant we'd throw a straight ivory blazer over it instead.

Winter needs only thick matte tights and lace-up boots. Color can come from a scarf.

Bust and hips are worth a look against the measurements as well. Machine wash is fine if it's inside out and the setting is delicate at 30 °C or under, with no wringing after.
