{"product_id":"gerard-darel-dress-der71e120-black","title":"Gerard Darel | Black Crepe Midi Dress - Gold Button Collar","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a quiet confidence to this midi dress from Gerard Darel, built on a single sleek line that runs from a high, structured collar down to a hem that stops at the calf. The waist is subtly defined rather than cinched, giving the silhouette a long, uninterrupted elegance, while a slit at the skirt introduces just enough movement to keep the line from feeling static. It is a dress that reads minimalist at first glance, then reveals its details on closer inspection.\n\nThe fabric is a plain crepe, chosen for the way it falls rather than clings. Crepe has a matte, slightly textured surface and a weight that gives it structure without stiffness, so the dress holds its shape through the body while still moving naturally with each step. It is the kind of material that photographs cleanly and wears just as well in person, with none of the sheen or slip of a lighter weave.\n\nConstruction is where the piece earns its character. The high collar and an asymmetrical closure of gold buttons running down the upper bodice bring a tailored, almost military precision to what is otherwise a fluid shape. Seven-eighths sleeves stop just short of the wrist, a small proportion decision that keeps the silhouette feeling considered rather than default. Seam-inserted pockets sit discreetly within the skirt panels, and a golden buckle belt at the waist offers the option to sharpen the line further or leave it looser for a more relaxed drape.\n\nWorn as intended, the dress moves easily from desk to evening. The slit skirt allows a full stride without compromising the midi length, and the structured collar means it needs little else around the neckline to look finished. In black, it reads as a wardrobe anchor rather than a single-occasion piece — the kind of dress that can be reached for repeatedly across a season without ever looking repeated.\n\nStyle it with the belt fastened and low block heels for the office, then loosen the buckle and swap in ankle boots and a longline coat for evening. The gold hardware at the buttons and belt pairs naturally with warm-toned jewellery, and because the crepe holds its shape without heaviness, it layers well under a tailored blazer through the colder months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GERARD DAREL","offers":[{"title":"BLACK \/ 34","offer_id":41824132890757,"sku":"DER71E120","price":2995.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false},{"title":"BLACK \/ 36","offer_id":41824132923525,"sku":"DER71E120","price":2995.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ 38","offer_id":41824132956293,"sku":"DER71E120","price":2995.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false},{"title":"BLACK \/ 40","offer_id":41824132989061,"sku":"DER71E120","price":2995.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/GERARD_DAREL-DER71E120-BLACK-1.jpg?v=1787526808","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/gerard-darel-dress-der71e120-black","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
