Why You'll Love It
- Shimmering velvet — the velvet surface creates a soft, deep shimmer that catches light differently from sequins or metallic fabric; more luxurious and less disco.
- Peach blossom colourway — a warm, feminine peach-pink that's flattering across most skin tones and photographs beautifully.
- Mini length — a fun, celebratory length that's occasion-ready and shows off footwear.
- Plus-size cut — designed for curvy and plus-size figures across 1X–4X (approximately UK 18–28).
- Glamorous and fun — a dress that makes an immediate, positive impression at any celebration.
- Occasion versatility — parties, birthdays, hen dos, date nights and any event where you want to shine.
Fabric & Care
100% polyester velvet. Hand wash in cool water or delicate machine cycle. Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, iron directly on velvet, or bleach.

FAQs
What UK sizes does this dress correspond to?
Sized in US plus sizes: 1X (UK 18–20), 2X (UK 22–24), 3X (UK 26), 4X (UK 28). Check the size guide below for your specific measurements.
Is shimmering velvet the same as crushed velvet?
No — shimmering velvet has a cut pile surface treated or woven to reflect light with a soft, deep sheen. Crushed velvet has a deliberately distorted pile that creates a crinkled, multi-directional light reflection. Shimmering velvet looks smoother and more conventional than crushed velvet.
How do I care for velvet?
Velvet requires gentle care — hand wash in cool water or use a delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry; hanging can distort the pile. Never iron directly on velvet — if needed, iron on the reverse side or use a steam iron held above the surface. Store folded or hung in a garment bag to protect the pile.
Is this dress true to plus sizing?
No stretch — check your bust and hip measurements carefully against the size guide below. If between sizes, size up for the most comfortable fit.
Can I wear a velvet mini dress in winter?
Yes — velvet has natural warmth and the fabric is seasonally appropriate for winter. Pair with opaque tights and heeled ankle boots for a complete winter occasion look.
