Adair Off Shoulder Maxi Dress - Emerald Green

Emerald velvet worn off the shoulder, the Adair Maxi Dress is a winter dress in the most direct sense of that term.

The neckline runs straight across and sits off the shoulder, leaving the whole collarbone clear. The velvet is soft, and the dress pulls on rather than zipping, so there is no closure anywhere to manage. It is lined.

Velvet in a deep green belongs to the end of the year: a holiday party, a winter wedding, a dinner in December that everyone dressed for. A heel, hair up, and bare shoulders that will want something over them on the way in and nothing over them once you are inside. One piece of jewellery is plenty against a fabric that already carries this much depth of its own, and earrings tend to read better here than anything sitting at the neck.
