Solenne - Mock-Neck Bishop-Sleeve Satin Midi Dress
An occasion dress that covers the arms and still reads as evening.
Formal dresses tend to solve elegance by removing fabric. That leaves you choosing between the dress you want to wear and being warm enough to enjoy the evening in it.
Why is this mock-neck bishop-sleeve midi dress so popular?
- Covered and still formal: A high neck and full sleeves carry an occasion without a wrap over the top.
- Bishop sleeves: Volume at the arm balances the narrow line of the skirt.
- Bias-cut skirt: Cut on the bias so the skirt moves and falls instead of hanging flat.
- High waist seam: Sets the waist above its natural line, which lengthens the skirt visually.
- Four evening colours: Black for formal, apricot and pink for daytime occasions, blue for both.
Ideal for:
Women attending winter weddings and evening events, anyone who wants sleeves on an occasion dress, and those who would rather not carry a shawl all night to stay warm.
How high is the mock neck?
It sits at the base of the throat. High enough to read as a neckline, not high enough to feel restrictive.
Does the bias cut cling?
It skims rather than grips, but a bias cut does follow the body. Seamless underwear is the safer choice.
Is it lined?
The skirt is lined. The sleeves are single layer so the gather stays soft.
