These are the dresses for a date already in the calendar — a wedding you are a guest at, a cocktail hour, a party with a dress code, an evening that ends late. They sit on the same period lines as everything else in the shop, with more thought given to how they read across a room.
Tulle and satin do most of the work. A full swing skirt in layers of tulle, a fitted bodice, and a sash or a belt drawing in the waist: that is the shape this rail returns to most often. Two of the pieces here are a set that arrives together and separates afterwards. The rest are single dresses, with a deep V or a square neck to open up the line.
Colours include champagne, blue, yellow, pink and green. Hems mostly fall below the knee. Closures are concealed, at the side or the back, so nothing interrupts the silhouette.
Every dress on this rail comes in S, M, L and XL. Five also come in XXL and one in XXXL. This rail carries no XS. Every piece is a reproduction cut to modern sizing: a dress tagged 1950s follows a fifties silhouette and was not manufactured in that decade. The week before an occasion is a good time to ask for exact numbers — email support@sanfordkid.com and we will measure the dress you are looking at.
