Women's Black Hand-Embroidered Fan-Motif Silk Velvet Maxi Slip Dress

The most pared-back of the Velvet Atelier: a true bias-cut slip in black silk velvet (30% mulberry silk), with fine straps, a clean straight neckline, a low back and a fine back slit, falling to full maxi length. Small open-fan motifs in blush pink and warm gold are stitched entirely by hand and scattered sparingly, like petals on a breeze — no two dresses alike. Side pockets. Fitted on the bias and runs small: size up if between sizes. For evenings, dinners, the theatre and black tie. Made to order and hand-embroidered in Vietnam in a very limited run; ready in 3 weeks including UK delivery, gift boxed. Designed in England · As featured in British Vogue, Tatler, Grazia & T Magazine Specialist dry clean only. Store on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight. Steam gently on the reverse side to refresh the pile — do not press velvet directly. Silk 30%, Viscose 70% Colour: black
