Ricki Maxi Dress - Ruby Wine

Ruby wine satin with a butterfly sleeve: the Ricki Maxi Dress is soft in its construction and quite firm in its effect.

The v neckline closes with a clasp at the top. The sleeves are short and cut as butterflies, falling from the shoulder rather than fitting around the arm. A side zip closes invisibly with a hook and eye clasp, and a split opens at the side of the maxi length. The satin fabric has a soft feel throughout, and the dress is lined.

It is a special occasion dress: a party, a wedding, an evening with a table plan. Satin at this length shows every line underneath it, so choose what goes under it with some care. Keep the jewellery small and the shoe plain, and let the colour and the sleeve be the two things anyone remembers.
