Sparkly midi dresses in lurex knit for winter parties

Wraps, bare shoulders and round necks in lurex knit

Two of them wrap. Both are blue, both cross into a V at the neck and close with a belt, which leaves the fit up to you. The brighter one is a royal blue that still shows up in the low light of a restaurant. Its sister stretches enough that nothing digs in during a long dinner, and the wrap skims over the stomach instead of clinging to it.

Prefer your shoulders out? The black style drops off both shoulders, is draped through the body and has a slit for one leg. It needs a strapless bra. We’d pin your hair up for this one, since the shoulder line is the best part.

The rest keep a round neck and a close fit. There’s purple, a strong green, a deeper emerald, a grey one with a slit and a quiet beige. On the green, emerald and beige styles the hem stops at mid-calf. Because the thread does the decorating, we add no trim.

From a New Year’s dinner to a wedding table

Where do they go? To a New Year’s dinner, the company party, an anniversary, a night at the theater. Grey suits a concert. Our royal blue wrap can sit at a wedding once you add silver earrings and black pumps. With covered arms and knees you won’t miss a shawl indoors, and the knit lets you dance after the plates are cleared.

Matte tights and shoes under a shiny hem

Shine on shine gets loud. That’s why we’d put matte tights with all of these, nude or sheer black, and leave the glossy pair in the drawer. A mid-calf hem likes ankle boots, or pumps whose heel is mid-height. Beside the green one, a matte bag looks better than a metallic clutch. Gold earrings warm up emerald and beige, while silver sits better next to blue and grey.

These are close cuts. Measure bust, waist and hips and write the numbers down before you open the size chart. We sew this midi dress sparkly lineup from XS to XL, where XL is about a US 12.

Frequently asked questions

Is lurex the same thing as sequins?

No. It’s a fine metallic thread inside the knit, so the dress shines evenly all over instead of in spots.

How should I wash a lurex midi?

By hand, or in a laundry bag on the delicate cycle, with cool water and never bleach. Afterwards it dries lying flat, away from the sun.

I’m between two sizes. Which one do I take?

The knit stretches, so your usual size is the safer bet. If doubts remain, message us your numbers and a manager will weigh in.

Do you make this sparkle shorter or in a single color?

We do. Look at the short lurex styles, the blue ones on their own, or everything that shines in one place.
