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

A true bias-cut slip in black silk velvet: fine straps, a clean straight neckline, a low back, and a line that skims the body to a full maxi length with a fine back slit. The Fan Motif is the most pared-back of the Velvet Atelier collection — a dress for someone who prefers their detail understated and their silhouette pure. The embroidery arrives quietly: small open-fan motifs in soft blush pink and warm gold thread, stitched entirely by hand and scattered sparingly across the velvet. They sit like petals carried on a breeze — placed without formula, letting the cut and the fluid fall of the silk velvet do the primary work. No two dresses are scattered quite alike. Made to order, hand-embroidered in Vietnam by heritage artisans. Ready in 3 weeks including UK delivery. 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. Colour: black
