Verena Sequin Slip Maxi Dress - Burgundy

Most sequin dresses shout. Burgundy is the one colour that lets them speak at a normal volume, which is what makes the Verena wearable well beyond December. It is built as a slip. Thin adjustable straps hold a square neckline, and the dress falls in a bodycon line to the floor with nothing interrupting it. Delicate sequin detail covers the surface — enough to catch light in a dim room, not enough to look costumed under one. At the back, a split releases the skirt and an invisible zip closes with a hook and eye clasp. It is lined. Deep colours forgive a lot, so this one takes gold or silver at the ear equally well. A plain heel, a small clutch, hair off the face. Where a brighter sequin dress is locked to the party season, burgundy will do a winter wedding reception and an ordinary birthday dinner without looking out of place at either.
