Wallis Petite Velvet Cowl Back Midi Dress
- Extend your return window to 35 days
- 100% protection against any shipping mishaps
- Velvet finish catches the light as you move, giving the skirt a rich, shifting depth that no printed fabric can replicate.
- The standout detail is the back: a draped cowl that pools softly at the nape, offering an unexpected reveal from behind while the front remains covered and composed.
- Voluminous bishop sleeves are fitted at the cuff, creating a balloon shape through the arm that adds drama without compromising elegance.
- A small keyhole cut-out sits at the front neckline - just enough of an opening to break up the coverage and add a considered finishing touch.
- Jersey construction means the dress moves with the body rather than against it - the skirt swings freely from the defined waist seam and falls to a flattering midi length.
A winter party or black-tie dinner is where this dress comes into its own. The velvet carries enough weight to feel occasion-ready the moment you walk in, while the midi length keeps it refined rather than restrained. The cowl back is the quiet centrepiece - easy to forget about until you catch a glimpse in a mirror, at which point it does all the work for you. Style it as the model does here: strappy heeled sandals and a metallic clutch let the dress lead without any competition. For a festive dinner or a cocktail reception, the covered arms and keyhole neckline strike the right balance between modesty and interest. Those who prefer jewellery can lean into a statement earring - the crew neckline and open back create the perfect frame. Come January, this is equally at home at a wedding or a theatre evening, proving it earns its place far beyond the party season.
Main: 95% Polyester 5% Elastane. Lining: 100% Polyester - Machine washable.
