This high-neck midi gown blends luxe texture and dramatic structure: a sleek black velvet bodice pairs with a ruched chocolate-brown skirt, while matching opera gloves elevate the avant-garde silhouette. The contrast fabric mix and sculpted ruching create a bold, fashion-forward look—ideal for art galas, editorial events, or modern formal occasions.
Core Design Highlights
- High-Neck Velvet Bodice: A fitted black velvet high-neck top (luxurious texture, structured fit that frames the neck and shoulders)
- Contrast Ruched Skirt: A chocolate-brown ruched midi skirt (intricate gathering creates dimensional texture and a sculpted, body-flattering shape)
- Matching Opera Gloves: Full-length black velvet gloves (extends the gown’s sleek line, adding a dramatic, cohesive touch)
- Dramatic V-Waist Detail: A sharp V-shaped seam at the waist (connects the velvet bodice to the ruched skirt, emphasizing the waistline)
- Avant-Garde Silhouette: Mix of structured velvet and fluid ruching (balances bold texture with soft movement for a high-fashion aesthetic)
Fabric & Craftsmanship
- Bodice/Gloves Fabric: Premium stretch velvet (soft, rich texture with subtle sheen; maintains shape while offering comfort)
- Skirt Fabric: Lightweight draped crepe (fluid and breathable, holds ruching details without sagging)
- Tailoring Details: Precision ruching placement (ensures symmetrical, sculpted texture) + reinforced seam construction (for durability in high-wear areas)
