Velvet Pleated Mini Dress

Crafted from velvet, this pleated mini dress sculpts the silhouette with an internal corset, artfully accentuating the décolleté and contours, while the delicate skirt whispers elegance through every movement. A refined embodiment of allure and structure, tailored for the discerning wearer. Made using traditional tailoring techniques, with most of the construction done by hand with needle & thread. The pleating falls with an intentional softness, each fold considered, each seam placed with purpose. The velvet surface catches light differently with every shift of movement, shifting from deep shadow to a rich, luminous sheen that is impossible to replicate in any other fabric. Made to measure in London by Alexander, this dress is cut and constructed individually. There is no production line, no compromise on finish. What arrives with you has been made with your measurements and your silhouette in mind from the very first cut. Fit & Feel The internal corset structure provides a firm, sculpting hold through the torso without sacrificing comfort or ease of movement. The mini length sits at the upper thigh, balanced by the weight and drape of the pleated skirt. Designed to be worn close to the body, structured at the top, fluid below. This dress is made to measure to your unique measurements, you will be contacted for them. Material & Care Made from high quality 100% cotton velvet. Dry clean only to preserve the pile and structure of the fabric. Store hanging to avoid crushing the pleats. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to maintain the depth of colour. Made to Order As every piece is made to measure, please allow 3–6 weeks for production. Each dress is a singular creation, made once, made right, made for you. Style Notes Wear with heeled boots and minimal jewellery to let the dress lead. The internal corset means no additional shapewear is needed, this piece does the work. Equally suited to an intimate dinner or a considered evening out where the details matter.
