What to Wear this Autumn: Flattering Velvet Dresses with Sleeves

As Autumn is well and truly underway and the icy months of winter loom close, we thought it only appropriate to introduce our casual chic A/W velvet collection. Cosy and couture, there is no better fabric to take you from daytime to evening party with than our luxurious, jewel-toned velvet. Ranging in size from Uk 10 – 24, this collection is made to order and made in our very own Glasgow production unit.

 

With the dolman style pocketed dress being a popular favourite amongst our clients, it was a given that we had to recreate this style in a silk-soft and shimmering velvet for the new season. This velvet evening dress can be seen online in aubergine, sporting a feminine and rounded V neckline and a flattering dolman sleeve silhouette. The soft and flowing yet short and flirty hemline of the dress creates movement so fluid that it adds a contemporary twist to a look so effortlessly chic. This long sleeve velvet dress also comes in striking scarlet red, for a look both bold and beautiful.

 

Our casual chic collection is made to order meaning that each dress is exquisitely cut and handcrafted just for you – ensuring a tailor made experience from start to finish. All styles in this collection are cut for a loose fit around the waist and tummy, making you look fabulous with ease and comfort.

Continuing the theme of relaxed glamour, we have created a new style of velvet casual dress which displays a long, ankle length hemline. This velvet maxi dress creates a dress shape which holds a beautiful drape and hugs your body in all the right places. The dress can be seen here in a shimmering shade of ocean, creating fluid movement and a unique shine. All our velvet collection can be paired with one of our bespoke, matching velvet headbands in the same shade. Alternatively, the ankle length dress can be purchased online in a flash colour block style, we have paired the chocolate and olive velvet together to create a rich and textured look which embodies opulence and luxury. Pair with a silk scarf to get the look.

 

All velvet outfits can be purchased in a selection of jewel tone shades. These include chocolate, olive, hunter green, scarlet, ocean and aubergine. Not only does velvet capture the essence of the autumn/winter season, but with being a fabric which layers so easily a feel of casual elegance is created. We love how easy the velvet collection is to style – add a touch of luxe by pairing with our faux fur collars and cuffs.

“It’s so warm, it’s just like getting a big cuddle”. Meet the dress that started it all; the cowl neck velvet dress in a rich and creamy shade of chocolate. We love the cosy and warm autumnal vibe this look creates, especially when completed with our matching headband and camel faux collars and cuffs. This statement dress is perfect if you’re looking for a timeless piece which will stay on trend and generate a plethora of compliments this Autumn/Winter season.

 

Our velvet collection covers a wide range of styles that appeal to everyone. This includes a two-piece outfit made up of a crop top and high waisted palazzo pants. This supremely flattering outfit encapsulates old-time glamour and luxury. Pictured here in a glistening shade of ocean, the velvet two-piece creates a divinely feminine silhouette. Tie this outfit together with a silk scarf and matching headband for a bespoke, lavish party look.

 

Our velvet casual chic collection is made in-house at our very own production unit. Each outfit is made with high quality and long-life fabrics to ensure timelessness.
