Evening Gown – One-Shoulder Cut With Side Pleating and a Slit Hem

Evening Gown – One Clean Line Doing All of the Work

A floor-length gown with a single shoulder strap, gathered pleating at the side and a slit cut into the hem. The asymmetry carries the whole design, so nothing else needs to be added. Ten colors run from muted to loud.

Why choose a one-shoulder evening gown?

An asymmetric shoulder pulls the eye upward, which does the job that beading and trim usually try to do. The side pleat shapes the waist without the fabric needing to sit tight. The slit is there so a full-length hem does not shorten your stride.

• Single shoulder strap — an off-center line across the top that stands in for jewelry.
• Side pleating — gathers the fabric at the waist and gives the shape.
• Slit hem — you can take a normal step in a floor-length dress.
• Hidden side zip — the closure disappears into the seam.
• Ten colors — from restrained neutrals to full fuchsia.

The dress arrives finished; you can leave the necklace at home.

Step in and close the zip along the side seam. The fabric drapes rather than clings and recovers well after a long evening seated. Dry cleaning is the better option between events.
