KSXTXX presents a tailored velvet midi dress that blends plush surface luxury with ethereal sheer layering for a dramatic, elegant statement. A softly rolled mock neckline stands neatly at the throat, framing the face with clean minimalist restraint. Sharply built peaked shoulders lift the sleeve head with architectural precision, extending into slim set-in long sleeves that follow the arm closely and taper to plain cuffs at the wrists. Princess seaming curves through the bust and draws inward at the natural waist, where a slim self-fabric waistband wraps the body and defines the silhouette with a crisp horizontal break. The skirt falls in a close sheath line that follows the hip and thigh, while an open front seam releases into a soft slit for ease of movement. Layered over the skirt, panels of sheer tulle float from the waist in wide, translucent sweeps that billow outward with airy volume, extending below the velvet hem for a floating, dimensional finish. The midi hem falls below the knee, pairing naturally with heeled pumps and delicate drop earrings.

Every product page has a fit finder next to the size selector — three questions, one recommendation, a few seconds. These charts are for anyone who would rather read the numbers.
How to measure
- Bust / chest. Around the fullest part, tape level, arms relaxed at your sides.
- Waist. Around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel.
- Hips. Around the fullest part, roughly 8 in below the waist.
- Inseam. From the crotch seam to the floor, in the shoes you'll wear the trousers with.
Measure over the underwear you'd normally wear, not over clothing. Keep the tape snug but not tight.

How our pieces are cut
- Dresses are cut true to size. If you are between sizes, take the smaller one — most of our dresses have ease through the waist.
- Coats and jackets are cut with room for a knit underneath. Take your usual size; size up only if you layer heavily.
- Knitwear is relaxed by design. Between sizes, take the smaller one unless you want an oversized look.
- Trousers and jeans run true to size. Between sizes, take the larger one.
- Shoes run true to size. If you have a wide foot, take half a size up.
