FAQs

What is the difference between a Bardot dress and an off shoulder dress?

Are off shoulder maxi dresses suitable for formal events?

Yes. An off shoulder maxi dress can be a beautiful choice for weddings, cocktail functions, formal dinners and evening celebrations. Flowing fabrics and longer hemlines can create a more elevated feel, while the exposed neckline adds a modern feminine touch.

Can I wear an off shoulder knit dress in cooler weather?

Yes. An off shoulder knit dress offers a warmer take on the shoulder-baring silhouette and can work particularly well through autumn and transitional weather. The knitted texture adds softness and warmth while keeping the distinctive neckline as the focus.

What occasions can I wear a black off-the-shoulder dress to?

A black off-the-shoulder dress can work across cocktail parties, date nights, birthdays, dinners and more formal celebrations, depending on its length and design. Its classic colour combined with a statement neckline makes it an especially versatile option for evening occasions.

Are off-the-shoulder summer dresses suitable for holidays?
