Felicity | Velvet Long Sleeve Maxi Dress
Long Sleeve Velvet Maxi Dress for Christmas Parties and Winter Weddings
Felicity is a long sleeve velvet dress cut to flatter and made for the most sociable weeks of the year. Long seams shape the bodice through the waist before the skirt opens into a soft A-line that sways to the ankle, and the plush velvet catches the light as you move. Wear it as your Christmas party dress, to a winter wedding as a guest, or to a New Year's Eve dinner.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Soft, plush velvet with a rich sheen that shifts in tone as the light changes.

- Sleeves: Long, slim sleeves with soft gathering at the forearm that can be pushed up.
- Length: Maxi length, falling to around the ankle.
- Details/Finish: Vertical seams at the front and back sculpt the waist and lengthen the silhouette.

Styling Tips
- For the office Christmas party, add strappy metallic heels and a silver box clutch.
- On a cold evening, layer a tailored wool-blend coat on top and finish with heeled ankle boots.
- For a wedding as a guest, keep jewellery minimal with gold drop earrings and a fine bracelet so the velvet does the talking.
Care
Hand wash cold or use a gentle cool cycle inside out, and avoid wringing. Dry flat or hang to dry, and steam lightly rather than ironing directly onto the pile. Always check the care label.
Size & Fit
The bodice sits close to the body while the skirt falls freely from the waist. Choose your usual size for a defined fit, or size up if you prefer more room through the bust and arms.

Good to know
- Colour: colours can look slightly different depending on lighting and your screen settings.
- Measurements: sizes are measured by hand, so small differences of 1–3 cm are possible.
- Creases from shipping: light creases from packaging fall out after a day on a hanger or with a little steam.
