In the 22 years of Living Silk, without a doubt, the Ribbon Dress is one of the most flattering dresses we have ever done.
It’s designed with stretch so it seamlessly moulds to your body, thus creating a flattering and feminine fit. The Ribbon Dress is ideal if you want a sleek silhouette for your next event, whether that be a guest attending a wedding, a special birthday, a lunch or work function or as the Mother of the Bride or Mother of the Groom.
Featuring a criss-cross design that pops in photographs (and in person), the Ribbon Dress is also one of the most unique in our collection.
This blog will shine a spotlight on the Ribbon Dress, discussing its design, available colours, and styling options. So read on to learn more about this gorgeous garment.
Design
The Ribbon Dress boasts a quartet of features that make the dress so spectacular.
The first is the 47% micro modal, which gives the dress its stretch. Micro modal is a specialised type of rayon that boasts incredible softness and resistance to shrinkage, so you can rest assured that your dress will be comfortable and long-lasting.
The second feature is the silk satin ribboning that covers the dress from top to bottom. This criss-cross pattern highlights the femininity of the dress and, as mentioned earlier, photographs brilliantly (just what you want for those days spent flicking through photo albums!).
The third feature that makes the Ribbon Dress so special is the boat neckline. It’s soft, elegant, and allows the right amount of room for a necklace. Tip: Pearls and Silk are a stunning combination.
The fourth feature is the small slit at the back hem of the dress. Not only does this add a modern touch, but it gives you extra movement for dancing the night away!
Colour Options
The Ribbon Dress is available many colour ways.
Having multiple colour options means you can choose the one that feels most like you, coordinate nicely with the bride or groom, and match the atmosphere of the wedding you’re attending. Perhaps the Ivory Ribbon Dress for an outdoor wedding, the Midnight Blue and Silver for a country wedding and the Black and Gold for a more formal wedding - the choice is yours!
Styling
The Ribbon Dress is splendid on its own, but if you would like to add an extra layer of detail and elegance you can; there’s plenty of jackets, coats, and shawls that you can slip over the top.
Here’s a rundown of the best ones for this garment:
Pure Silk Organza Jacket
Made of pure silk organza, this jacket is light to wear and still allows the dress to shine through. The curved neckline replicates that of the dress, so coordinate wonderfully when paired together.
Pure Silk Organza Cocktail Jacket
Also made with pure silk, this jacket is similar to the last with the addition of an opaque pure silk trim. The Cocktail Organza Jacket notably sits on the neckline of the Ribbon Dress, rather than above it.
Pure Silk Organza Coat
If you’re looking for a bit more length, the Pure Silk Organza Coat is perfect. It falls a little below the dress, and features an intricate cornelli lace detail. This coat can be worn two ways: with the hook and eye clasped together or without; the first option lets the coat’s feminine silhouette shine (cinched waist and flared bottom), while the second allows the coat to swing while you walk.
Made from pure silk, you don’t have to worry about getting too hot in this coat; this fabric is designed to keep you cool in summer and warm in winter.
Pure Soft Silk Shawl Shawl
If you fancy a shawl that you can drape elegantly over your arms, we have a lovely pure silk one that comes in an array of colours. Made from 100% pure soft silk, it’s soft on the skin and very luxurious.
Overall, the Ribbon Dress is an exquisite option for any special event or for a Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom attending her son's or daughter’s wedding. Depending on the colour you choose and how you style it, the Ribbon Dress can be worn to a cocktail, formal, beach, garden, country, and outdoor wedding, with a pure silk bolero, jacket, coat or shawl, as you wish.
