Metallic dresses woven with a shimmering thread

Which shade of shimmer suits your night out?

Start with the room. Under dim restaurant light, a royal blue wrap midi still glows, and you tie its belt as snug as you like. Purple works in the same low light, and we sew it two ways, as a fitted mini and as a midi with a round neck.

Want something quieter? Powder pink lurex has a soft glint for a birthday or a New Year’s dinner at home, where gold or silver would feel loud. Beige is the warm option. It’s a fitted midi that ends mid-calf, plain on purpose, because the fabric already does the decorating. Grey makes the shine softer still and comes with a leg slit that opens as you walk. It’s easy to wear with things you already own.

Then there’s black. One black style bares the shoulders and has drape and a slit, and the long sleeves keep it right for winter. Another mixes black and silver in the knit and opens into a V at the neck. Got a strict dress code at the office party? A black wrap mini with long sleeves is the safest bet.

Green lurex and the rest of the outfit

Green is the color we sew most often in lurex, from a deep emerald to a brighter leaf shade. One short version has three-quarter sleeves, so the wrists stay free for rings. Our green midi falls to mid-calf and shines evenly with no sequins. That’s why we’d pair it with matte shoes and a matte bag, so the dress keeps the spotlight.

The same goes for tights. Sheer nude or matte black look calm next to a metallic thread, while shiny ones start to compete. The purple midi and the blue wrap are stretchy knits, so a long dinner won’t leave the waist digging in. Fitted cuts still need your real bust and hip numbers. Compare them with the chart first. Our sizes go from XS up to XL, and we cut and sew each one ourselves.

Frequently asked questions

Are there sequins on any of them?

No. The sparkle comes from the thread itself, which is why the glow looks even from neckline to hem.

How do I wash lurex?

Use cool water, a mesh bag and the delicate program, then let it dry flat away from the sun.

Can I wear it in the daytime?

Sure. Throw a blazer and plain ankle boots over the emerald or black wrap and the shine looks relaxed.
