Choose the right silhouette for formal events
Soiree dresses should balance elegance, comfort, and the dress code. In our Soiree Dresses collection you’ll find floor-length gowns, structured midis, and draped evening dresses with flattering necklines and refined fabrics.
Necklines and fits
- V or surplice: Elongates and flatters many bust shapes.
- Square/straight: Modern and structured, great with statement jewelry.
- Wrap/belted: Defines the waist and adjusts to fit.
- Skirts: A-line for movement; column for sleek; slight slit for mobility.
Fabrics for polish
Satin, crepe, and chiffon drape beautifully. Look for linings to smooth and prevent cling; stretch blends help with comfort through long events. Dark jewel tones and classic black are timeless; metallic accents add glamour.
Styling by event
- Black tie: Floor-length or elegant midi; strappy heels; clutch; minimal but refined jewelry.
- Gala: Statement earrings or cuff; consider a structured wrap or evening coat.
- Formal wedding: Jewel-tone midi or gown; avoid white/ivory; comfortable block or slim heels.
Undergarments and comfort
Choose dresses that work with your preferred bra; consider strapless or low-back solutions for deeper cuts. Seamless underwear or slips prevent lines. Break in heels and add gel pads for long wear.
Care
Steam to de-wrinkle; spot clean per fabric; hang on padded hangers. Store with garment bags to protect delicate fabrics.
