How this dress fits
The Valentina is designed to fall loose and fluid — the tiered skirt follows the body without confining it, so it will feel roomier than a fitted dress. That is the shape, not a sizing error. Take your usual UK size; there is no need to size up. The adjustable straps let you set the bodice exactly where you want it. If you prefer a closer line, size down.
Not your size? Made to measure
This dress is cut in UK 8–14 — but our atelier will make it from a UK 6 to a UK 18, to your own measurements, for £50 more. Ready in the same 3–4 weeks.
Our maxi dresses fall to around 135cm, which is long on a shorter frame. We set the length to you at no extra cost — shorter if you are petite, longer if you intend to wear a heel. And if your bust, waist and hips fall in three different sizes, that is precisely what a commission is for.
Each Valentina Magenta is made to order in Vietnam and will be with you within 3 weeks of ordering, including UK delivery time.
Magenta is a colour that refuses to be ignored — and the Valentina was designed to match that energy. A deep, vivid fuchsia-pink that shifts between warm and electric depending on the light, it carries the particular boldness of a colour that has always belonged in silk: rich, saturated, alive.
The Valentina moves the way silk was always meant to — unhurried, weightless, responsive to the lightest turn of air. Cut from 100% Habotai silk and lined in the same pure silk throughout, its tiered maxi silhouette falls in soft, sweeping layers that follow the body without ever confining it. Slender adjustable straps let the bodice settle exactly where it should, while the generous volume through the skirt lends a romantic ease to every step.
Each dress is hand-finished in Vietnam by artisans working within a silk tradition centuries in the making, and carries the subtle character that distinguishes genuine craft from the mass-made. Wear it to a summer wedding, a milestone dinner, an Eid celebration, or a destination holiday — elevated with gold jewellery and heels, or worn simply with sandals as the sun goes down. The Valentina in Magenta makes every occasion feel like the right one.
Produced in small numbers, made carefully by the same hands from first thread to final stitch. This is slow fashion in its truest form.
