Description
This Women’s Cowl Neck Pleated Velvet Midi Dress sets itself apart from traditional V-neck or crew-neck bodycon dresses with its softly draped pile collar and pleated fold detailing. Tailored in a refined sheath silhouette, it balances smart-casual daytime wearability with the rich, light-catching lustre of crushed gold-sheen velvet for evening occasions.
Knitted from a durable polyester and elastane blend with slight stretch, the fabric holds its structured pleated shape while remaining soft and skin-friendly. Full-length sleeves and a 112–116 cm hemline provide polished coverage across UK autumn, winter, and spring settings, while a tailored split hem ensures fluid movement from office dinners to weekend cocktail events.
Key Advantages
Distinctive Folded Cowl Neckline: Softly draped collar adds architectural texture around the collarbone, eliminating the need for heavy necklaces.
Flattering Pleated Folds: Strategic pleating along the waist creates visual depth and skims smoothly over the stomach and hips.
Structured Slight-Stretch Velvet: Holds a neat, tailored sheath line throughout the day without sagging or losing its silhouette.
Extended UK Size Range (UK 8–18): Graded across five sizes from S (UK 8) up to XXL (UK 18) for a contoured, proportionate fit.
Seven Seasonless Shades: Choose from classic evening tones (Black, Burgundy, Emerald Green, Purple) or contemporary neutrals and pastels (Brown, Khaki, Pink).
UK Size Chart & Garment Measurements
| Label Size | UK Size Equivalent | Bust (cm / in) | Total Length (cm / in) |
| S | UK 8 | 84 cm / 33.1″ | 112 cm / 44.1″ |
| M | UK 10 | 88 cm / 34.6″ | 113 cm / 44.5″ |
| L | UK 12–14 | 92 cm / 36.2″ | 114 cm / 44.9″ |

| XXL | UK 18 | 104 cm / 40.9″ | 116 cm / 45.7″ |
Fit & Measurement Note: Although supplier tags sometimes refer to this cut as knee-length, at 112–116 cm total length the hemline sits comfortably below the knee to mid-calf on an average UK height of 5’4″ to 5’7″ (163–170 cm). Because this velvet knit has a structured slight stretch (rather than high stretch), we recommend sizing up if your bust measurement sits between two sizes.
