Taffeta is the fabric of the season — structured, lustrous, and guaranteed to turn heads. Whether you’re heading to a black-tie wedding, a winter gala, or an elegant cocktail party, taffeta has the power to make any moment feel like a red-carpet entrance. This season, Kate & Pippa introduces four statement dresses that take this timeless fabric and make it modern, wearable, and unforgettable.
🖤 The Victoria Taffeta Maxi Dress
Meet the dress that doesn’t just walk into a room — it enters.
The Victoria Maxi is pure drama, with a full button-through front. Wear it closed for a sleek, formal look, or leave a few buttons open for a daring flash of leg. The voluminous skirt moves beautifully, making every step photo-worthy, while the wide waist tie allows for a cinched or relaxed silhouette. Available in timeless black, royal blue and deep purple it’s the ultimate black-tie wedding or gala piece.
đź’Ž The Victoria Taffeta Midi Dress
Proof that taffeta can do day-to-night dressing, the Victoria Midi is a modern take on occasionwear. Its button-through front and belted waist mean you can style it up or down whichever way you like. The midi length makes it versatile for winter weddings, city cocktails, or anniversary dinners. Jewel-tone colours keep it feeling rich and luxe — perfect for autumn evenings.
đź’— The Penelope Taffeta Maxi Dress
When the occasion calls for maximum drama, the Penelope Maxi is your go-to.
This full-length showstopper is crafted from high-shine taffeta that catches the light with every step. The belted waist cinches beautifully, creating an hourglass silhouette, while the collared neckline and long sleeves keep the look polished and sophisticated. Perfect for black-tie weddings, gala dinners, or any event where you want to make a sweeping entrance. Pair with metallic heels and a beaded clutch for a look that’s elegant yet effortless.
đź’ś The Penelope Taffeta Midi Dress
For nights when you want all the glamour but a little more movement, choose the Penelope Midi. Designed with the same lustrous taffeta and flattering tie waist as its maxi sister, this midi version hits at the perfect length for dancing the night away. The slightly shorter hemline makes it ideal for cocktail receptions, autumn weddings, or Christmas parties. Style with strappy sandals or a court shoe — this dress does the rest.
