Silk and Bears

Women's Black Hand-Embroidered Floral Silk Velvet Puff-Sleeve Maxi Dress

The Florence has the manners of a vintage dress and the ease of a modern one. Black silk velvet (30% mulberry silk) with short puff sleeves, a soft V neckline and a neatly fitted body to full maxi length — more covered and romantic than a slip. At the hip, a posy embroidered entirely by hand: pink wild roses, soft-blue forget-me-nots, green leaves and a coral bud. Side pockets. Fitted and runs small: size up if between sizes. For autumn and winter weddings, christenings, the theatre and the mother of the bride. 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. Each dress is produced in a very limited run. Silk 30%, Viscose 70% Colour: black
