A softly luminous \u003cstrong\u003echampagne dress\u003c\/strong\u003e that catches the last of the sun, made for the whole of that afternoon and the evening that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight rather than embellishment\u003c\/strong\u003e — A fine all-over metallic shimmer runs through the fabric, so this shimmer dress catches the light as you move rather than sitting heavy with sequins. It is the quieter way to wear something that still stands out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA warm neutral rather than a stark one\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pale champagne gold sits on the warm side of neutral, which is why it settles so easily among the softer tones you often see at a coastal wedding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA simple line, top to hem\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fine straps and a softly curved neckline frame the shoulders, the bodice sits close through the waist, and the skirt falls full and unbroken to the floor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne dress, a whole season of invitations\u003c\/strong\u003e — Elegant enough for a wedding, refined enough for race day, relaxed enough for a summer evening by the coast. A champagne maxi dress like this earns its place in the wardrobe several times over.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet the fabric do the shining and keep everything else quiet. Strappy gold or nude heels for a wedding, a block heel if you are standing on grass at the races. Fine gold jewellery and a slim drop earring are enough — a heavier statement piece only competes with the shimmer. Add a small clutch, hair loose or softly pinned, and for a cooler evening near the water a fine ivory or camel wrap over the shoulders, which leaves the skirt on show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend gentle hand washing in cool water, on its own, with a mild detergent. Reshape and dry flat in the shade, away from direct sun. To freshen it before wearing, we suggest hanging it in a steamy bathroom to let any creases settle, and storing it on a hanger with the skirt hanging free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Riley Belle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60650314793294,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1067\/4575\/8030\/files\/5-Matilda-champagne-shimmer-maxi-dress.webp?v=1788448633"}],"url":"https:\/\/rileybelle.com\/collections\/occasion-dresses.oembed","provider":"Riley Belle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
