Lorelei | One Shoulder Satin Maxi Dress
Lorelei | One Shoulder Satin Maxi Dress
One Shoulder Satin Maxi Dress for Christmas Parties and Formal Evenings
Lorelei is a sleek one shoulder maxi dress that pairs a softly draped, matte bodice with a glossy satin skirt for an easy two-texture contrast. The asymmetric neckline and gathered ruching at the side sculpt a clean line from shoulder to hip, before the skirt falls to the floor with a gentle flare. It makes a polished Christmas party dress and works just as well for formal evening events, winter weddings and festive dinners.

Styling Tips
- Add gold sculptural earrings and a structured clutch for a Christmas party or festive drinks.

- Layer a tailored longline coat or a cropped faux fur jacket over the top for winter weddings and chilly nights out.
Care
Gentle cold hand wash or delicate machine cycle, turned inside out. Do not tumble dry; hang to dry and press on a low heat with a cloth over the satin. Always check the care label.
Size & Fit
This dress is cut close to the body through the bodice, waist and hips, as the photos show, so it gives a defined, sculpted silhouette. Choose your usual size for a sleek fit; if you are between sizes or prefer a little more ease around the hips, size up. Pair with heels to keep the floor-length hem off the ground.
