Adeline | Long Sleeve Satin Midi Dress

A long sleeve satin-finish midi dress with a draped cowl neck, elasticated waist, and a bias-cut skirt that falls to mid-calf with a clean, fluid hem. The bodice sits relaxed through the chest and shoulders — the cowl neck pools softly at the front rather than lying flat, which gives the neckline its shape without structure or hardware. The sleeves are full-length with an elasticated cuff that gathers the fabric at the wrist, adding some volume through the arm that balances the fluid skirt below. The waist is defined by an elasticated seam that sits at the natural waist, pulling in the bodice without a zip or fastening — the dress pulls on without a visible closure. Below the waist the skirt falls in a slight A-line, cut on the bias so it drapes and moves rather than hanging straight. The overall proportion is covered and elegant without being heavy — the satin-finish fabric catches the light through the skirt while the bodice reads as softer due to the cowl drape. Wear with heeled sandals and minimal jewellery for a formal occasion, style with strappy block heels and a clutch for a wedding guest look, or layer a fine-knit cardigan over the top for a cooler evening.
