Aurelia Sculptural Velvet Gown

A masterclass in architectural tailoring and geometric precision, the Aurelia Gown is a statuesque tribute to modern avant-garde design. Crafted from a sumptuous, deep tobacco velvet, this dress transforms the body into a living piece of art. The silhouette is defined by dramatic, origami-inspired folds and sharp, structural lines that create a sense of movement and depth even in stillness.

The intricate paneling is accentuated by delicate contrasting piping, highlighting the expert craftsmanship of the "shard" seaming throughout the bodice. A sculpted peplum detail at the waist adds high-fashion volume, while the skirt tapers into a sophisticated mermaid-style flare that pools elegantly at the feet. With its high neckline and structured cap shoulders, the Aurelia offers a powerful, high-coverage look that remains undeniably feminine.

Rendered in a rich, light-catching chocolate velvet, this gown is designed for the woman who seeks to command the room with mystery, elegance, and architectural flair.

Lean into the architectural aesthetic — pair with sculptural gold jewelry and a sleek, low-ponytail or a tight architectural bun to keep the focus on the neckline and shoulders. A pair of pointed-toe gold heels and a minimalist bronze clutch will perfectly complement the warmth of the tobacco velvet.

Care Instructions

• Professional Dry Clean Only: Specialized velvet care required to maintain the pile and structure.

• Do Not Iron: Direct heat will crush the velvet fibers. Use a high-quality hand steamer from the inside of the garment only.

• Avoid hanging near other items that may crush the structural folds; store in a spacious garment bag.

• Brush lightly with a soft-bristled clothes brush in the direction of the pile to maintain its luster.
