Pink maxi dresses, a floral wrap and a velvet gown

Pink comes in two very different long dresses here, and we sew both of them ourselves. The first pink maxi dress is a floral wrap in lightweight viscose for hot July days, and the second is a powder pink velvet gown that reaches the floor for winter evenings.

Powder pink velvet for a December ballroom

This is the one for a winter wedding, a prom or a hotel reception with a seating chart. We cut it to follow your body from the shoulder down. Then we leave it uneven on purpose. A long sleeve covers one arm. The opposite shoulder is left bare.

There’s a slit up the leg that opens when you walk, which puts your shoes on show. Pick them with that in mind. A nude pump on a thin heel makes the leg look longer every time the slit opens, and it won’t fight the color of the velvet.

The walk from the car to the door is the cold part in January. A pale coat works over it, or a short fur jacket you can leave at the cloakroom. We’d stand you against a light wall for the photos, because the powder shade brightens skin on camera.

It sits close from top to hem. Get a tape measure out for the bust and the hips, and hold both numbers up against the chart instead of trusting the size you usually buy. Of the two, this is the pink maxi dress for formal nights.

A floral wrap for heat and sea air

Our pink maxi floral dress is the summer half of the page. It’s lightweight viscose. The front wraps over, and the V-neck makes you look taller. With a full bust, that’s the cut we’d point you to.

The sleeves are short. That’s enough to keep the sun off your shoulders, and the hem goes all the way down to cover your legs on a slow seaside walk after dinner, when the evening sun still feels strong. At a garden wedding on the lawn, low wedges are easier than flat sandals because they won’t sink into the grass.

When you try it on, set the wrap so the V stays put as you move. We make it from XS to XL, and an M is roughly a US 6–8. This pink maxi dress is part of our summer line and returns to the catalog with the warm weather. Wash it at 30 °C or cooler and don’t wring it.

Two dresses, two seasons. If you’re shopping in winter for a summer trip, keep the floral wrap in mind and come back for it in spring. The velvet one is here for the cold months, and that’s when we’d book the fitting.

Not set on pink? Every long hem we make is on one page, and pink in shorter lengths has its own.
