The most special of dresses: the stunning vibrant blue, contrast embellishments at the shoulders & waist - and that beautiful back!
Gorgeous from every angle, the Athena dress is the perfect piece to make you feel great at that Wedding - from sitting down at the ceremony with the beautiful back on show, to standing out at the drinks reception & twinkling under the lights when it’s time to dance!
It’s elegant & covered up with slim long sleeves, midi length & not-too-low V neck, whilst showing off & flattering your figure too - it’s also fully lined and the back is high enough to wear a bra with.
A season-less style, the Athena dress could be worn at any time of the year for so many occasions - special meals out, christenings or parties. It’s statement with all it’s beautiful details yet a wearable, simple silhouette.
This dress was a bestseller in the emerald green, if you love the cobalt blue be sure to get it now: we only produce 70 of each design! Sizes sell out very fast & we won’t be reproducing this one yet. Get a unique look you won’t find on the high street!
Dress is true to size, if a little generous - we recommend your usual size or go smaller if in between. Size shown is UK 8.
Dress is fully lined & fastens with a centre back concealed zip. Back is high enough to wear a bra, with the cowl back piece adding extra coverage.

Such a beautiful dress. True to size with thick forgiving material. The shoulders tend to fall so be prepared to pin onto your bra strap or have double sided tape at the ready. I recieved so many compliments wearing this dress & cannot wait to wear it again.
I purchased this dress for Ascot. On the day I received so many compliments for it!! The blue really stands out with the gorgeous detailed drop on the back of the dress. (Sorry do not have any photos of the back). I ordered a size 6 as I am quite petite, 5”5 in height so I had to get it altered. I had the bottom of the dress taken up and taken in. I also had to alter the arms of the dress as they were too long in length for me too. It’s such a Sophisticated & expensive looking dress, well worth the money you spend. I will be wearing this dress again for a wedding later on in the year.
Beautiful dress, lovely fit, however the shoulders kept falling down, however some body tape ensured they stayed in place all day, unsure whether it’s my body shape or the dress.
