Midnight Society

There’s something deliciously 1930s about this gown. The way the satin falls. The confidence of a cowl neckline. The waistline lifting ever so slightly to an empire point, finished with a diamond-shaped cluster of diamantes, pearls and sequins that feels more heirloom than bling.

The silhouette is slim through the body before easing out into a graceful fit and flare. It moves beautifully — that liquid satin glide that skims rather than clings. Short sleeves keep it refined, and at the back there’s a neat row of pearl buttons running over the zip. It’s elegant. Properly elegant. No theatrics required.

Beverley loves this one because it doesn’t shout. It knows exactly what it’s doing.

This is a sample dress in excellent condition. There is one tiny hole at the edge of the hem on the train — easily repaired, and something that can be addressed at the same time as any length alterations.
