Solace London is a British eveningwear label founded in London in 2013 by Laura Taylor and Ryan Holliday-Stevens, known for sculpted crepe and twill gowns. The pair met years before the label began, when Laura was managing a specialty store in Leeds and Ryan was selling his own line there. Selfridges was the first stockist, Net-a-Porter followed, and the brand made its New York Fashion Week debut in September 2017 with its Spring 2018 collection.

The Solace London look
The founders describe their aesthetic as “Bold, confident, refined. Modern futurism balanced with timeless minimalism.” In practice that means one strong line per dress and very little decoration. The signatures are boned strapless gowns, one-shoulder maxis with a long sleeve split to the elbow, off-the-shoulder necklines with sculpted sleeves, and long-sleeved, high-neck columns. The brand groups its best-known shapes in an Icons range, and runs separate Bridal and Modest sections.
Fabrics and construction
Solace London names its cloths by weight and finish: medium weight twill with subtle sheen, lightly textured bonded crepe, medium weight stretch knit crepe and lustrous heavy weight satin. The fibre is mostly polyester, with linings in polyester and elastane. Most styles are fully lined, many gowns have a boned bodice for support, and care is dry clean only.
Solace London sizing
Every style comes in UK 4 to 16. The chart is a body chart, in centimetres.
| UK | US | EU | Bust (cm) | Waist (cm) | Low hip (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 0 | 32 | 80 | 61 | 90 |
| 6 | 2 | 34 | 82.5 | 63.5 | 92.5 |
| 8 | 4 | 36 | 85 | 66 | 95 |
| 10 | 6 | 38 | 90 | 71 | 100 |

| 14 | 10 | 42 | 100 | 81 | 110 |
| 16 | 12 | 44 | 105 | 86 | 115 |
Most styles are true to size. On boned and minimal-stretch styles such as the Dandridge and Reynolds, the brand suggests your usual size, sizing up if you are between sizes. On stretch knit crepe styles such as the Lang and Olivia, it suggests sizing down for a closer fit. Models on the product pages stand between 177 and 182 cm and wear a UK 6. See the full Solace London size guide.
Editor’s styling guide
For black tie, choose a floor-length boned strapless gown such as the Kinsley and the Dandridge, with bare shoulders and a single strong earring. For an evening wedding, a one-shoulder style such as the Kira suits most frames; keep jewellery to the bare side. For a winter wedding and a religious ceremony, the long-sleeved, high-neck Olivia gives coverage without losing the line. For cocktail, the strapless Edison midi has the same boned bodice at a shorter length. Leave the cream, pearl and alabaster styles to the bride. Most gowns are cut to the floor on tall models, so plan for heels and a hem.
