Marlene | Ruched One Shoulder Satin Maxi Dress
One Shoulder Satin Maxi Dress for Galas, Weddings and Christmas Parties
Meet Marlene, a one shoulder satin maxi dress made for the evenings that call for something special. Soft ruching gathers across the bodice and sweeps towards one hip, shaping a sleek, fitted line that falls into a gently flared fishtail hem. In rich chocolate brown or a deep olive-toned green, this formal dress moves easily from a winter gala to a wedding or a festive evening out during the Christmas party season.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Smooth satin with a soft, liquid sheen that catches the light as you move.
- Neckline: Asymmetric one-shoulder neckline with fine pleats gathered at the shoulder.
- Sleeves: Sleeveless, leaving one shoulder elegantly bare.
- Cut/Fit: Close-fitting through the bodice, waist and hips, with draped ruching running diagonally to the side.
- Length: Floor-skimming maxi length that flares softly into a fishtail hem.
- Details/Finish: Clean back with a centre seam and gathered pleats at the waist for a sculpted shape.
- Style: A refined evening gown silhouette for formal occasions and celebrations.
Styling Tips
- Pair with pointed black court shoes and a slim satin clutch for a gala or black-tie dinner.
- Add gold drop earrings and a faux fur stole for winter weddings and Christmas parties.
- Throw a tailored longline coat over the top and swap to heeled ankle boots for a festive dinner out.
Care
Hand wash cold or use a gentle cool cycle with the dress turned inside out. Do not tumble dry; hang to dry and cool iron on the reverse if needed. Always check the care label before washing.
Size & Fit
As the photos show, this dress is cut close to the body through the bodice and hips for a sleek, sculpted line before easing out at the hem. If you are between sizes or would like a little more room around the hips, we suggest sizing up.

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.
