A Rather Splendid Evening Dress That Actually Fits

Here's the thing about a properly made maxi dress: it should make you feel like you've accidentally wandered into someone else's glamorous life, in the very best way. This tobacco-coloured silk piece does precisely that. It's the sort of garment that whispers confidence rather than shouts about it, which is rather more sophisticated when you think about it.

Why Choose Our Maxi Dress

Exquisite Fabric Composition: 100 percent silk exterior paired with a luxuriously soft 73 percent acetate and 27 percent silk lining. The kind of construction that feels marvellous against your skin and will last far longer than most things in life.

Architectural Design Details: A plunging deep V neckline that's flattering without being frivolous, raglan sleeve shoulders for that effortlessly chic silhouette, and an utterly fetching open back that's rather the showstopper. Gathered and ruched throughout with a flared bias cut hem that moves beautifully when you do.

Thoughtful Engineering: Invisible side zip closure and gracefully draped fabric that skims the body without clinging. You'll feel rather good in this dress, which is rather the point.

Proper Craftsmanship: Made in the UK with the kind of attention to detail that separates a dress you'll wear once from a dress that becomes your secret weapon. Discretely finished on the inside because good taste doesn't need to announce itself.

SHIPPING + RETURNS


THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.

Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!


RETURNS

You have 14 days to return items.

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY
:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.

Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

We Have Lots More Like This.........

Hello, we are Sostter....

Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?

We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.

Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.

This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
