How should I care for my formal dress to ensure its longevity?
Care depends upon fabrication, and each design has its own specific instructions to follow. We recommend storing formal dresses on padded hangers to maintain their shape, keeping them away from direct sunlight to protect delicate fabrics, and where care instructions allow, dry cleaning your dress to preserve the structure, colour and detailing. With considered care, your formal dress will remain a timeless piece in your wardrobe for years to come.

Yes, they are. VIKTORIA & WOODS women's formal dresses are crafted with a sense of occasion in mind and are very much designed as elevated occasionwear. Whether it's a black-tie event, a wedding, or an garden soiree, each piece offers effortless sophistication through considered silhouettes, premium fabrications and meticulous tailoring. Add an elegant heel, a statement necklace, and a bag to complete your black tie occasion look.
