A red satin slip dress with a deep V-neck
This page holds one dress, and it’s red. Our satin slip dress is short, hangs from thin straps and has a deep V at the front, and it’s cut from satin with a silky shine to it. Wear it on a date or to a cocktail party and you won’t need to add much.
What goes under a neckline this low
A strapless bra or adhesive cups. Nothing else works with straps this narrow and a V this deep. Pick smooth underwear as well, because the satin glides close over the hips and any thick seam shows through.
For size, check two numbers against the chart, bust and hips. We make this slip in XS to XL, and an S comes out at about a US 4. Stuck between two sizes? Our manager can look at your numbers and suggest one.
With the straps this thin, your shoulders and collarbones are on show from every side. That’s why we’d wear the hair up, or at least tucked behind the ears, so the line of the neck and the V stay visible. A dress like this doesn’t ask for much else from you.
Red satin for December nights
We put it in our fall and winter line on purpose. Restaurants are warm, parties are warmer, and a sleeveless satin slip dress stays comfortable in a packed room while everybody around you bakes in wool. Under the warm bulbs of a restaurant, that red satin shines exactly the way it should.
Outside it’s another story. Throw an oversized black blazer over your shoulders or go for a long coat, and add thin tights. At the office holiday party or on New Year’s Eve, keep that blazer on all evening. Suddenly the slip is something you’d wear in front of your boss.
On a snowy evening, ankle boots with a slim heel feel more sensible than sandals, and they look right with dark tights under a short hem. Change into the stilettos once you’re inside, if you like. Nobody checks.
Shoes and bag are easy. Red looks its best next to black and gold. Stiletto sandals, a small clutch, little earrings. No necklace. The V does that job.
If you’d rather try a different cut on straps, look through our dresses with spaghetti straps. For more shine there’s the whole satin range, and every shade of the color we sew is on our red page.
Frequently asked questions
Is it warm enough for winter?
Not by itself. Once you step outside, a satin slip dress wants a blazer or a coat and tights. Indoors you’ll be glad your arms are bare.
Can I wash it at home?
By hand, in cool water. Spread it out to dry and keep it away from the tumble dryer.
Will the V gape when I lean forward?
It shouldn’t, as long as your bust measurement matches the size you pick. Too roomy at the chest and the neckline opens up at the table, so if you’re between two, ask us before ordering.
Gold jewelry or silver?
Gold. It warms the red and sits well with black heels and a black bag.
