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

The Florence has the manners of a vintage dress and the ease of a modern one. Cut from black silk velvet, short puff sleeves at the shoulder, a gentle V neckline, neatly fitted to a full maxi length. A romantic, covered silhouette — suited to autumn weddings, the theatre, or a very good dinner. At the hip, a single posy of flowers embroidered entirely by hand: pink wild roses, sprigs of soft-blue forget-me-nots, fresh green leaves and a coral bud. Specific, deliberate embroidery of the finest quality — flower by flower, each one pulled into the velvet by a single pair of hands. Made to order, hand-embroidered in Vietnam by heritage artisans. Each piece is subtly its own. 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. Each dress is produced in a very limited run. Colour: black
