You already know what a maxi dress looks like.
What you don't have is plush velvet that drapes without clinging.

A floor-skimming cut with classic long sleeves and hidden pockets.
Plush, never clingy.
Measures 51.5 to 53 inches in length, sweeping right to the floor.
✓ Plush, non-shedding velvet
Smoothly woven polyester velvet offers a soft feel and flattering weight that will not shed fuzz on coats or seats.

✓ Deep side-seam pockets
Pockets sewn straight into the side seams lie flat to hold your phone without disrupting the dress line.

✓ Floor-skimming drape
Cut to 51.5 to 53 inches long, flowing past the waist and hips instead of gripping them.

✓ Comfortable sleeve coverage
Classic long sleeves provide unrestrictive arm coverage to balance the sweeping skirt.

How long is the dress and will it brush the ground?
Depending on the size, the dress measures between 51.5 and 53 inches in total length. It reaches the floor when paired with flats, while a one-inch heel keeps the hem lifted.
Does the velvet fabric shed lint or fibers?
No. This polyester velvet features a smoothly woven construction that resists shedding, ensuring it will not leave stray fuzz on your coat or seating.
Will the pockets alter the silhouette around the hips?
No. The deep pockets are sewn directly into the side seams so they sit flat against the loose drape without showing an outline.
How should I wash and care for this dress?
Machine wash cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle, avoid bleach, and hang dry. To remove wrinkles, steam lightly rather than pressing directly on the velvet.

This is my third order from Sonayah. The shirt has a soft ribbed trim and the rounded bottom sits nicely over my jeans. I now have it in two colors.
Some days, you just want to get dressed and go. Carolyn combines a relaxed denim fit with a flowing skirt and practical pockets. Pair it with your favorite sneakers for coffee with a friend, a little shopping or an easy afternoon out.
The Sarah dress is fitted but still comfortable to sit in all evening. I’m 38, and the lace sleeves give just the right amount of cover without looking heavy. I’ll order another color.
It arrived folded in the mailer and the cable knit looked perfect straight away. The high collar keeps my neck warm on chilly mornings.
Looking for something special without feeling overdressed? Lenora pairs a softly draped neckline with a defined waist and a flowing skirt. The rich copper color and velvet look bring the outfit together, so you can keep the accessories simple.
