Eclipse is made for autumn and winter celebrations. Its character comes from the mermaid line, the contrast of velvet and sheer mesh, and a clean construction with no extra decoration.
Mermaid silhouette
The fitted cut defines the waist and hips, then the skirt flares into a mermaid hem. The maxi length visually lengthens the figure.
Alicante mesh
The upper part is semi-sheer Italian Alicante mesh: it softly covers the neckline, shoulders and arms for a hint of transparency without revealing too much.
Velvet
Stretch velvet (92% polyester, 8% elastane) is soft, with a rich texture and gentle sheen that glows in evening light. The mesh (80% polyamide, 20% elastane) stretches with it.
Details
Small buttons at the back and a concealed zip finish the design neatly. The long sleeves make the gown right for the colder months.
Occasions
Autumn or winter weddings as a guest, galas, anniversaries, New Year’s Eve, formal receptions, dinners and the theatre. Pair with pumps or heeled sandals and simple earrings.
Care
Gentle hand wash or dry clean. Velvet is never ironed: refresh with a steamer and store on a hanger.
What dress should I wear to a winter wedding?
The Eclipse velvet maxi dress: long mesh sleeves, rich velvet and a mermaid silhouette look formal and suit the colder season.
What is a mermaid dress?
A silhouette that fits closely to the hips or knees and flares at the hem like a mermaid’s tail. It defines the waist and hips and lengthens the figure.
Are the Eclipse sleeves see-through?
The sleeves, shoulders and neckline are semi-sheer Italian Alicante mesh. It is light but keeps the look from feeling too revealing.
What should I wear for New Year’s Eve?
The black velvet Eclipse: deep velvet, mesh and a floor-length line look festive without sequins.
Can a velvet dress be ironed?
No, ironing is not allowed. Refresh the dress with a steamer and clean it by gentle hand wash or dry cleaning.
What size Eclipse dress should I choose?
Standard sizes are XS–L. The dress is fitted, so use your bust, waist and hip measurements in the size chart. For XXS, XL and XL+ choose the custom option: making takes 7–12 working days, with an 8% surcharge for XL and above.
What to wear with the Eclipse dress?
Pumps or heeled sandals, a small clutch and simple jewellery; a long coat on top.
