C103

Demetrios Evening style C103 is a floor-length navy crepe gown built on a clean, column-through-the-hip line that releases below the knee into a soft fit-and-flare skirt and a sweep train. The story is all in the neckline: a wide, folded-over bertha of beaded lace sits off the shoulder in a true portrait frame, scalloped along its edge and shot through with tonal beading and sequins that catch light without adding a single sparkle to the body of the dress. Underneath, the bodice is unadorned matte crepe with shaped princess seams, and the back stays closed and high, finished with a long row of self-covered buttons that runs from the lace band to below the hip.
