Roland Mouret Dolen crêpe midi dress

Roland Mouret’s design expertise is captured in the Dolen dress, a study in fluid drapery. The piece is defined by its cape-like sleeves that cascade elegantly over the bodice, creating movement with every step. It's a sophisticated choice for formal occasions and celebratory events.

The art of the detail

The Dolen midi dress is an exercise in masterful construction, sculpted from a substantial beige crêpe fabric. The material offers a beautiful drape and a subtle give, ensuring both structure and comfort. Its defining features include a deep V-neckline and an asymmetric midi-length hem that lends a dynamic quality. The silhouette is further enhanced by cascading panels that create architectural interest from the bodice to the skirt, demonstrating an advanced understanding of form and fabric.

How to wear

Elevate the Dolen dress with metallic stiletto sandals and a structured box clutch for an evening at the opera or a charity gala. For a daytime wedding or an important luncheon, pair the design with tonal pointed-toe pumps and understated gold jewelry, allowing the dress’s intricate drapery to remain the focus. The open back offers an opportunity to showcase a delicate lariat necklace. This piece adapts to the most refined occasions, ensuring a memorable and poised presence through its thoughtful design and graceful movement.
