This sumptuous and colourful party dress features our striking Newton Check design on a velvety base. Gathered into dramatic fans of pleating, it can be worn front to back allowing you to switch colourways and reveal different colour moods: jewel shades of pink and emerald one side, or bands of yellow, golds and blues on the other. Two dresses in one! The colour-euphoric, joy spreading floor length gown to take you straight from dinner to dance-floor. Twirl 360 degrees to dazzle and rejoice in the full range of complex shades that make up this unique design. A fabric for all climates and occasions: this plush, short pile velvet is reflects colour with a gleaming, jewel-like quality, and takes on an almost metallic luminosity in low lighting. Striking in every light, this is a truly unique textile. Highly practical in its comfort, and easy care, it is a surprisingly practical offering in eveningwear. Printed, pleated and made in the UK.
