Product Insights

The Temple Long Sleeves Dress, named after Rick Owens' Temple of Love retrospective, embodies his raw, monumental design philosophy with a raw hem, elongated sleeves, and an 80 cm back slit that allows mobility and dramatic movement. Its lightweight, intentionally sheer knit requires seamless undergarments and careful flat drying to prevent stretching, while the graphic bust stitching provides the only architectural contrast. Priced at $499.95 CAD on sale, it offers the most construction detail and the lowest sale price in the Temple maxi line, making it a striking yet practical entry into Owens' aesthetic.

Verified claims

Brand story
The Temple name originates from Rick Owens' SS26 menswear collection and his concurrent 'Temple of Love' retrospective at the Palais Galliera.
Design details
Raw hem, elongated sleeves, and 80-cm back slit reinforce Owens' raw, monumental design philosophy.
Pricing context
At $499.95 CAD sale price, this Temple dress is the most affordable long-sleeve maxi in the Temple line.
Elongated sleeves
Sleeves extend past the wrist to lengthen the arm and reinforce the monolithic vertical line.
Care
Hanging this dress to dry stretches the knit under water weight, permanently elongating the torso and hem; dry flat and reshape while damp to preserve the intended cut.
Graphic stitching
Graphic stitching at the bust is the dress's only architectural detail.
Raw hem
The raw hem eliminates the stiffness and bulk of a conventional turned hem, producing a clean, uninterrupted line that lets the 163 cm dress fall straight without kicking out.
Back slit
The 80 cm back slit is unusually deep, easing walking in the extra-long narrow skirt and creating a dramatic flash of leg that breaks up the columnar silhouette.
Visual contrast
The back slit and intentionally skin-revealing knit position this dress as the bolder, more structured alternative among the Temple long-sleeve dresses.
Value
Most construction detail of Temple maxis, yet lowest sale price at $499.95.
Fit
Size 42 corresponds to US 8-10 (standard medium), though Rick Owens sizing can run slightly large; the 4% spandex high-recovery stretch delivers a close, body-skimming fit without needing to size up, while the 64.25-inch length trails under 5'9" and the weightless knit with back slit allows stride.
Silhouette and design
Floor-length dress with a 31.5-inch back slit and raw hem; elongated sleeves create a vertical line, while the graphic bust stitching adds an architectural focal point.
Sheerness
Intentionally sheer knit shows skin through transparency and cut rather than full translucency; seamless undergarments required for a clean silhouette.
Hemline pooling
On a 5'10" model the hemline pools at the feet, so the 64.25-inch length will trail on anyone under 5'9" unless hemmed or worn with very high heels; the 31.5-inch back slit provides mobility.
Fabric weight
Lightweight knit makes long trailing hem comfortable to wear.
Bust stitching
Graphic stitching at the bust is the only structural focal point on the otherwise seamless knit, adding a subtle architectural edge and drawing attention upward.
Weightless feel
96% viscose/4% spandex knit is true-to-size second-skin, prevents shoulder pull at 64.25-inch length, with skin-revealing sheer.
Mobility
31.5-inch back slit allows full stride without breaking the column silhouette.
Washing
Hand wash only or professional dry clean; do not bleach, and avoid machine washing and machine agitation.
Drying
Dry flat on towel, reshape while damp; never wring or tumble dry.
Storage
Store folded to prevent stretching and silhouette distortion.
Ironing
Iron with a cloth between iron and fabric.
Machine wash risk
Machine washing a single cycle with spin can permanently roughen the matte, weightless surface and compromise the bodycon fit, because the viscose-spandex knit is highly susceptible to pilling and stitch distortion.
