Quillon

Why you'll love it

01

Dressed in one move

One piece, no styling puzzle: the cowl does the work at the neckline and the satin does the rest.

02

Moves with you

Polyester satin with spandex, so it fits close without pulling when you sit, dance or climb the stairs.

03

Photographs beautifully

Satin catches the light in every photo, from the ceremony to the last dance.

Materials

  • Satin, spandex and polyester (stretch)

Care

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean; cool iron on the reverse

Made for

Perfect for

  • Black-tie weddings and galas
  • The office Christmas party
  • Evening receptions

Not for

  • Daytime garden weddings (try the floral chiffon maxi)
  • Anyone who wants real silk

The neckline

The cowl is cut into the bodice, so it falls the same way every time you move.

Questions

Is it real silk?

No. It is polyester satin with spandex, which keeps the sheen, adds a little stretch and is easier to care for than silk.

Can I wear a bra with it?

The one-shoulder cut suits a strapless or stick-on bra.

How does the sizing run?

Small. Each size guide is in centimetres from the maker's own chart: measure your bust and waist and compare. Between sizes, size up. Message us and we'll help you choose.

When will it arrive?

Made to order by our maker and dispatched within 7 to 15 working days, then tracked delivery to the UK, usually 4 to 5 working days. We confirm your dispatch date by email before taking payment. For Christmas and New Year parties, reserve by 13 November 2026.

Can I return it?

Wrong size? We'll swap it for another size free, once per order. Changed your mind? Tell us within 30 days of delivery and send it back unworn with its tags for a refund. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Is the colour exactly as pictured?

Our photos are styled images based on the maker's product photos, so colour and fabric can look a little different in person. if the colour is not what you expected, the 30-day return covers it.
