Pink evening gowns from floor-length velvet to midi

Here a pink evening gown usually means midi velvet, and one style goes right down to the floor. We sew them in powder pink velvet, lurex and soft knits. Nearly all have sleeves, which helps on a cold December night.

One long gown in powder velvet

If the invitation says evening wear, start here. This gown is powder velvet with a single long sleeve, a bare shoulder on the other side and a slit that opens when you step. The fit is snug. Write down where the tape lands on your bust and on your hips, then hold those figures up to our chart before you settle on XS, S or anything up to XL.

The asymmetry already decorates the neckline. We’d go with pearl earrings, since pearls sit well next to powder, and leave your neck bare.

Midi pink for christenings, anniversaries and parties

Velvet gathered into plissé moves with every step and catches the lamp light, so the powder pleated midi looks dressed up without any jewelry at all. A round neck and three-quarter sleeves keep it modest enough for an anniversary dinner or the office holiday party.

Want a slit? Our other powder velvet midi covers your arms and chest, then lets a slice of knee and calf out with each stride. Nude pumps work well, because the slit puts your shoes on display. Under velvet that fitted, smooth seamless underwear is the safe choice.

Some events call for calm. A fitted powder midi with long sleeves and no slit is what we’d pick for a baby’s christening or a quiet engagement meal at your parents’ place. The straight powder sheath goes further still. You’ll wear it to a family lunch on Sunday and to work on Monday.

Brighter pink lives in the shorter cuts. There’s a ruffled midi with a V-neck and no sleeves, a powder lurex wrap that shimmers quietly where silver would feel loud, and a soft angora mini with a slit for a chilly date.
