Weill Bi-Material Wool Crêpe Dress with Voile Sleeves
This modern little black dress by Weill combines structured wool crêpe with airy voile sleeves for a sophisticated contrast-texture design. The clean shift silhouette skims the figure with a straight cut and slightly fitted shape, making it a versatile choice for professional settings and evening occasions throughout fall and winter.
Design Details
The dress features a round neckline and a front button placket set with four half-ball carriage-logo buttons—Weill's signature hardware detail. Chest darts refine the fit through the bodice, while two trompe-l'œil patch pockets with flaps add a tailored accent to the front. The transparent voile bishop sleeves create volume and movement, finished with wool crêpe cuffs fastened by a logo button at each wrist. A concealed back zip maintains the sleek, uninterrupted line.
Fabric & Construction
The main body is crafted from 100% wool crêpe with a textured finish, providing structure and warmth. The sheer sleeves are made from 100% polyester voile, offering an elegant contrast. The dress lining features 65% acetate and 35% viscose for comfortable wear. This piece was designed in Paris at Weill's historic workshop and entirely assembled in Poland using Italian fabric.
Fit & Measurements
This dress runs true to size with a straight cut and slightly fitted silhouette. For a size 1: chest measures 90 cm, back measures 31.5 cm, sleeve length is 68 cm, and center back length is 91 cm, falling above the knee at 91 cm total length. The model shown is 179 cm (5'10") tall wearing a size 1.
Styling Versatility
Perfect for desk-to-dinner transitions, cocktail parties, and chic events. The knee-length cut works with tights for cold weather, while the structured wool crêpe makes it blazer-friendly for boardroom settings. The decorative pocket flaps and statement buttons elevate this from basic workwear to an investment piece suitable for theatre nights, gallery openings, formal dinners, and holiday parties.
