Silk and Bears

Women's Blue Hand-Embroidered Midnight Silk Velvet Evening Dress

There is an hour just after dusk when the sky still holds its deepest, jewelled blue — the Midnight Vine was made for that hour. Cut from midnight-navy silk velvet whose pile shifts from near-black to lit indigo as you move, the bias-cut slip falls to full maxi length, with fine straps, a deep V and a low scooped back. A trailing vine of roses in blush, mauve and antique gold is embroidered entirely by hand, curving over one hip and across the open back — hours of work by heritage artisans. For black-tie, winter weddings, opera and milestone dinners. Arrives ready to gift in Silk & Bears packaging. Made once in your size, in a very limited run. Designed in England · Hand-Embroidered in Vietnam · Featured in British Vogue, Tatler, Grazia & T Magazine Specialist dry clean only. Store on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight; steam gently on low to refresh the pile. Never iron directly over the embroidery — treat the hand-worked motifs as you would fine jewellery.
