How to Style the Light Wool Crêpe Midi Dress with V-Neckline in Vanilla
Style it with an opera-length glove and a satin pump. Keep the bag small and the hair simple.
- Keep the accessories quiet. An Alessandra Rich piece carries its own decoration, so one strong earring and a small bag is usually enough.
- Let the waist do the work. The house cuts a defined waist and a peplum that sits high. Anything you layer over it should stop above that line.
- Respect the print. Polka dot and floral silks sit best against solid black and ivory, with a bare shoe.
- Evening, then daytime. A silk midi styled with a flat sandal and a knit reads as daytime without losing the cut.

About Alessandra Rich
Alessandra Rich founded her namesake label in 2010 and runs it from offices in London and Milan. She describes the work as playful innocence set against something more subversive. The collections are made entirely in Italy.
The signatures repeat season to season. Polka-dot silk crêpe de chine, tweed bouclé with crystal and gold-tone buttons, a waist that is always defined. Rich designs for women who expect to be looked at, and she is unembarrassed about it.
The polka dot is the piece of the house most people can picture, largely because the Princess of Wales has worn it so often. She chose an Alessandra Rich polka-dot dress for King Charles’s seventieth birthday portrait in 2018, a custom azure version for the Platinum Jubilee in 2022, and a black and white version for the VE Day thanksgiving service in 2025. Rich has said Princess Diana was a muse for the print, and that lineage is doing quiet work every time the dress appears.
“The cut is precise and the fabric carries it. The Alessandra Rich Light Wool Crêpe Midi Dress with V-Neckline in Vanilla tends to solve an evening without much help from anything else, and it will still look right in five years.”
Gemma Deeks, Fashion Editor at Coveti
