Fitted, without clinging to anything you would rather it did not.

Most women rule out a fitted dress before they even try it, and usually for good reason. Ciel is cut with ruching through the entire body rather than a smooth panel, and gathered fabric does the opposite of smooth fabric: it breaks up the surface instead of tracing it.

What makes her Ciel

• Ruching from the bust to the hip. The gathers run diagonally, which is what disguises rather than reveals. This is the whole reason she works.
• A painterly autumn print in rust, gold, amber and slate. A busy print in warm tones, which hides far more than a flat colour ever will.
• A soft square neckline with a ruffled edge. It sits across the collarbone and softens the shoulder line.
• Short sheer puff sleeves. Just enough covering across the upper arm, in fabric light enough that you will not notice it.
• A high side slit under a sheer overlay. Movement when you walk, coverage when you stand.

From the ceremony through to the last dance

She is the most shaped dress in this collection, so size her against the chart rather than by instinct. Once she fits, the sheer overlay keeps her cool through the afternoon and the ruching keeps its shape through dinner, which is more than most fitted dresses manage.

Available in sizes S to 2XL, in the print shown.

The date on that invitation does not move.

And the deadline that matters is not the wedding itself — it is the weekend before, when you want her hanging on the back of your door, tried on with the shoes you are going to wear, and nothing left to decide. Work backwards from that weekend, and today is the day.

Sizes are going fast, and the sale ends today.

M and L always empty out first, and when a size goes on this dress it does not come back. Today is also the last day at 60% off — tomorrow she returns to her regular price. Two reasons to stop thinking about it, and none to wait.
