The Garnet Prelude Velvet Midi Dress
Rich burgundy velvet and a whisper of sheer mesh give this midi dress its evening presence. The sweetheart-shaped velvet bodice sits beneath a high, softly framed mesh neckline, with long sheer sleeves balancing the fitted silhouette. Delicate dark lace finishes the collar, cuffs and hem. It is an elegant choice for an opera reception, a charity dinner or an occasion when you want glamour with a little more coverage.
- Burgundy velvet bodice and skirt
- Sheer mesh yoke and long, softly gathered sleeves
- High collar, shaped bodice and defined waist seam
- Delicate lace edging; rear zipper; midi length
- Unlined; slight stretch
- 100% polyester
- Care: machine wash cold; tumble dry low
I.C.’s Styling Tip
Add a statement ruby-and-gold earring, a polished cuff and a small antique-gold evening bag. A burgundy pointed-toe heel keeps the line elegant. Keep the neckline free of a necklace so the velvet and mesh detailing can shine.
Size Guide
These are finished-garment measurements in inches, not body measurements. Lay the dress flat. Measure across just below the sleeves, then double that number for the dress chest. Waist and hip values, when supplied, are full garment circumferences; double flat widths when measuring your own dress. The supplied garment measurements are preserved below.
