One Shoulder Dresses for Galas and Evening Weddings

A single shoulder strap draws the eye on a diagonal, for a line that is both modern and graceful. It frames the collarbone and balances the figure, a touch more distinctive than a classic neckline. Paired with a defined waist, it creates a beautifully proportioned silhouette, which makes it a favourite for galas and evening weddings. The asymmetry photographs beautifully from every angle and leaves one shoulder bare for a single statement earring. For floor-length drama, our maxi dresses carry the asymmetry to full length.

Draped Shoulder Detail and Ruching

Look for draped or ruffled shoulder details, gathered bodices and skirts that move. We cut them from satin, crepe and chiffon for an evening lustre that holds its structure through the night. These refined finishes give the one shoulder its real sense of occasion, and a subtle ruche at the shoulder softens the line and flatters the upper arm. A clean column or a gently flaring skirt below keeps the whole look beautifully balanced. A one shoulder sits beautifully alongside our strapless dresses, while our cocktail dresses offer a shorter celebratory shape.
