Catalogue of Velvet Ball Gown Elegant Arabic Evening Dresses

كتالوج فساتين سهرة منفوشة قطيفة راقية translates roughly to "catalogue velvet elegant evening dress". In production terms it is a set of decisions rather than a single garment, which is exactly why it is worth specifying properly before the sample is cut.

In production these are velvet evening dresses in the elegant direction. Velvet has a nap. Mark every panel and never mix directions, or the dress photographs two-tone - and it can only be pressed on a velvet board. A ball gown carries a boned bodice and a skirt built from layers: tulle or organza over a crinoline, with the volume set by the number of layers rather than by the fabric weight.

Elegant usually means restraint at the neckline and length at the hem, with the money spent on the fabric and the bodice construction rather than on surface decoration.

What Has To Be Specified

• Shell: Velvet, hand and weight approved on a physical swatch - imported evening cloth rarely matches a screen.
• Block: Ball Gown bodice, fitted on a real model at the middle size before grading.
• Colour: name the exact tone and send a swatch. In this category a photo is not a colour reference.
• Bodice structure: say whether the bodice is boned, fused, or soft. This single line decides the fit, the price and the packing.
• Lining: state bodice lining, skirt lining and whether the skirt is bagged out at the hem.
• Closure: name the type and position - invisible zip, lace-up back, or covered button placket.
• Sizing: give the size run, the grade rule and the fit model. A Gulf 2XL is not a European 2XL.
• Care: dry-clean-only is normal here; if the trim cannot survive solvent, say so before the label is printed.

Grading is where the money disappears: every detail placed by eye on the sample has to be measured on the pattern, or the size run drifts.
