Maxi Evening Dress in Red Satin with Slit and Sheer Bodice

High-shine red satin, a sculpted strapless top line, and a slit that comes alive as you move.

This red maxi evening dress is designed for full-impact entrances, combining a glossy satin-look finish with a sheer corset-style bodice and a floor-length skirt.

The front view shows a curved strapless neckline and transparent panel detailing through the waist, which gives the dress a more sculpted, couturier feel than a plain bandeau gown. From the back, the bodice stays clean and strapless while the skirt gathers into soft draping over the hips and falls into a small train, so it looks dramatic from every angle. The fabric is inelastic, so the fit relies on the cut rather than stretch, and the high slit keeps the full length easier to walk, pose and dance in. Unlike simpler satin maxis, this one delivers structure through the bodice and movement through the hem in the same look.

UK Size Guide

Use the garment measurements below in cm. This dress has no stretch, so check your bust and waist carefully. If you are between sizes, fuller through the bust, or want a little more ease through the slit and hips, choose the next size up.

Is the bodice structured or stretchy?

It is designed to look structured rather than stretchy. The sheer panelling creates a corset-inspired shape, but the fabric itself is inelastic, so the best fit comes from choosing accurately by bust and waist.

How dramatic are the slit and train?

The slit is a clear statement detail and opens more as you walk or sit, while the hem falls into a small train at the back. It gives the dress its red-carpet feel, so heels will usually give the cleanest line.

Can I wear a bra with the strapless neckline?

A strapless bra, adhesive bra or tape will work best. A standard bra is likely to show because the neckline is fully strapless and the bodice is designed to stay visually clean across the chest and back.

Care

• Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours
• Turn inside out before washing to protect any prints or embellishments
• Do not tumble dry — line dry to keep the fabric’s shape
• Iron on a low setting if needed; do not iron over prints
• Do not bleach
