Women's Velvet Ruched Party Dress | Phoebe

A Dress With One Job
This is a short velvet dress cut close to the body, and it is built for a night out. The pile catches the light every time you move, which is why it photographs so well. The front crosses over into a deep V at the chest, giving the neckline a soft wrap that stays put.

Ruching From The Waist Down
The fabric is gathered on one side and pulled across the front, so the folds run diagonally over the stomach and hip. Ruching like this smooths the middle rather than pressing on it, and it gives the dress a shape that stays flattering when you sit down. The hem is gently angled.

Stretch That Moves With You
There is give in the velvet, so you can dance in it, sit through dinner in it and not spend the evening adjusting anything. Long sleeves make it warm enough for winter. Pick from the shades on offer and keep the jewellery small. Hang it up after wearing and steam it rather than pressing it flat.
