PENELOPE DRESS CHOCOLATE

A beautifully shaped midi dress in lustrous chocolate.

The Penelope Dress is an elegant, beautifully considered style that makes dressing for an occasion feel wonderfully simple. Crafted from a lustrous hammered silk blend, the chocolate colour has a rich depth to it, while the subtle texture of the fabric catches the light as you move. It has a polished feel without looking overly formal, making it a dress you can dress up or down depending on the occasion.

The silhouette is particularly flattering, with the bodice fitted neatly through the bust and waist before flowing into a softly flared midi skirt. This creates a defined waist while allowing the skirt to move naturally around the legs. Pintuck detailing runs throughout the dress, adding delicate texture and giving the otherwise clean silhouette an extra point of interest.

The round neckline keeps the front simple and refined, while the extended shoulders give the upper body a slightly stronger, structured line. Turn around and you'll find a small keyhole detail at the back of the neck, adding a subtle feminine touch without taking away from the clean overall finish. An invisible side zip keeps the front of the dress beautifully uninterrupted and makes getting in and out straightforward. The chocolate shade makes Penelope incredibly versatile. Wear it with heels and statement jewellery for weddings, dinners or special occasions, or keep it more understated with a simple sandal and minimal accessories.
