Product Insights

Side Slit Velvet Maxi Dress Shell is 92% polyester and 8% spandex; lining is 100% polyester. Runs true to size with enough stretch to avoid sizing up; check hip measurement first. 47-inch length from top of bust lands near floor-grazing on a 5-foot-4 frame and around ankle or lower calf on taller frames. High left-side slit frees walking on a maxi length and stays less conspicuous when standing, but can open wider when seated. Hand wash cold, do not bleach, or use professional cleaning; dry flat and press from the wrong side with a pressing cloth.

Verified claims

fit
Runs true to size with enough stretch to avoid sizing up; check hip measurement first.
length
47-inch length from top of bust lands near floor-grazing on a 5-foot-4 frame and around ankle or lower calf on taller frames.
material
Shell is 92% polyester and 8% spandex; lining is 100% polyester.
nap & sheen
Velvet's directional pile shifts lighter or darker with the nap and light, so the black reads deep and the surface changes with movement.
warmth
The dense pile traps air and adds warmth, making the dress suitable for cool-weather wear.
drape & stretch
Stretch velvet skims curves with give and recovery instead of holding a stiff shape.
lining
Fully lined in 100% polyester; the slit can reveal the lining, so check that the lining is the same length or has its own slit.
slit
High left-side slit frees walking on a maxi length and stays less conspicuous when standing, but can open wider when seated.
back closure
Back zip closure with adjustable thin straps; the back is closed rather than open or backless.
bodice detail
Scoop neckline with bust pintuck pleats, an underbust seam and side ruching.
silhouette
Fitted through the bodice and hips with a draped or wrapped front panel and soft creasing.
care
Hand wash cold, do not bleach, or use professional cleaning; dry flat and press from the wrong side with a pressing cloth.
maintenance
Never iron velvet directly; steam the reverse side and store on a hanger to avoid crushing the pile.
durability
The pile can flatten or mat with friction and washing, so the velvet benefits from gentle handling and careful storage.
color options
Offered in Black and Green; Green is the only non-black colourway at the same price and size run.
size range
Sizes run SMALL to LARGE only, so LARGE is the largest available grade.
value
Flat 125 CAD across all six size and colour combinations, with stretch velvet and a full lining.
styling
Dressy velvet maxi with a side slit suits evening or cool-weather occasions and can be accessorized simply.
bra compatibility
A regular bra can work with the closed back, but thin velvet straps sit visibly; strapless or convertible styles give a cleaner line.

Ruffled Slit Mesh Dress

Side Slit Velvet Maxi Dress: Choose this if you want a lined velvet maxi with a fitted bodice, pintuck-pleated bust, and a high left side slit, secured by a back zip closure. The thin straps are adjustable, and the measured size SMALL is 119.5 cm (47 inches) long from the top of the bust. It comes in Black or Green in sizes SMALL to LARGE, with a shell of 92 percent polyester and 8 percent spandex.[1,2,3,4]Crossover Neckline Crepe Maxi Dress: Choose this if you want a flowy, ankle-length floral maxi with a crossover V-neckline, elasticated gathered drawstring waist, and a thigh-high side slit, made from 100 percent recycled polyester in a Patterned Red print. The voluminous cut can overwhelm smaller or petite frames—per the review analysis it works best on taller or larger wearers—and the neckline may fall awkwardly when bought online without trying on. Some printed versions may show seam mismatches, so check the pattern alignment at the seams.[5,6,7]Ruffled Slit Mesh Dress: Choose this if you want a cocktail dress with a fitted, opaque bodice and mini underlayer beneath a long sheer mesh skirt, complete with an asymmetric front slit, ruffled hem, draped cowl neckline, and adjustable spaghetti straps. The fine stretch mesh (95% polyester, 5% elastane with a polyester lining) measures about 46 inches from the top of the bust. Note that this color is listed in small and medium only, so larger sizes may require another colorway.[8,9,10]
