Aurora | Sheer Sleeve Square Neck Cocktail Dress
Long Sleeve Cocktail Dress with Sheer Embroidered Sleeves
Aurora is a fitted midi cocktail dress that pairs a clean, structured body with sheer embroidered sleeves. Fine floral vines are stitched across the full, billowing sleeves, and a crisp square neckline sharpens the look. It suits wedding guest dressing, formals, cocktail evenings and Christmas parties alike.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Smooth, matte body with a structured drape; sleeves in a sheer mesh with delicate floral embroidery.
- Neckline: Square neckline at the front with a matching square line at the back, framed by wide straps.
- Sleeves: Long, voluminous balloon sleeves that gather into a fitted cuff at the wrist.
- Cut/Fit: Fitted bodice with a defined waist seam and shaping darts, flowing into a slim pencil skirt.
- Length: Midi, falling below the knee to mid-calf.
- Style: Available in black or white; the black shows pale embroidery for contrast, while the white has soft tonal florals.
Styling Tips
- Wear the black with pointed ankle boots and a slim clutch for a polished Christmas party or work function look.
- Team the white with pearl drop earrings, a fine pendant and nude strappy heels for an engagement party or bridal event.
- Layer a tailored blazer over the shoulders and add block heels for a smart cocktail evening.
Care
Gentle cold hand wash or delicate machine cycle inside a laundry bag, and dry flat in the shade. Take extra care with the embroidered sleeves and avoid wringing. Always check the care label before washing.
Size & Fit
The body is close-fitting through the bodice, waist and hips, while the sleeves are cut loose and roomy. Choose your usual size for a sleek, sculpted fit; if you're between sizes or prefer a little more ease through the hips, size up.
