The navy burn-out stretch velvet was quite the find: I snagged some at Rimmon in LA (wholesale-only), but I know that Stitch Sew Shop in Alexandria had some for a while too, so it may be hidden away in fabric shops all over the land. For those interested, my trusty gold belt is from J.Crew online, where they have plus/extended sizes that they don’t have in-store. I paired it with these amazing handmade-in-Italy M.Gemi nude-on-me block heels, which are the shoe equivalent of this very dress: totally comfortable, chic, but deceptively fancy ( check M.Gemi out here and get $50 off your pair!).

Meaning: super comfy, doesn’t crease in the suitcase, and for British purposes, it’s reasonably warm without being boiling. It’s brought me boundless compliments, and yet, it’s a jersey dress.
