Velvet is the most luxurious fabric category for autumn and winter dresses. The way it catches light, the depth of colour it creates, the way it feels against skin. There’s nothing quite like a really good velvet dress for the colder months. We’ve been pulling together our favourites across the deep jewel tones that suit the fabric best. Rich green, midnight blue, deep plum, dark red. These are the velvet dresses we’d actually invest in. Worth every penny of the price they usually command.
