Roland Mouret Evening Dresses

This electric-blue Alford dress debuted on Roland Mouret's AW17 runway which also marked the label's 20th anniversary. It's exquisitely crafted in the UK from lightweight hammered silk-satin to a sleeveless shape that features an elegant cowl neck before falling to a daringly high hem slit and billowy asymmetric overlay. The cut-out back complete with elasticated straps continues the sultry feel. Heighten yours with pointed mules.

Shoulders continue to be Roland Mouret's focal point for SS17 as exemplified by this black cotton-blend Martin dress. It's crafted with an elegant diamond-shaped racer back and the bodice has an asymmetric peplum waist panel so that from the front it looks like two separate pieces in one. Laser-cut florals are a beautiful finishing touch. Add a flash of colour in your choice of evening clutch.

Enhance the seductive scoop back with hair swept neatly into a chignon.
