How to Style the Velvet Bow V-Neck Mini Dress by Body Type
- Rectangle: Define your waist with a belt, a wrap silhouette, and bias cuts to introduce shape. The Velvet Bow V-Neck Mini Dress in White builds shape through seaming rather than volume, so it creates a waist on a straight frame.
- Hourglass: The house cut is drafted for exactly this line, so take your usual size and let the seaming do the shaping.
- Tall: Column silhouettes and unbroken vertical lines elongate beautifully. Vertical seaming here enhances height without overpowering proportion.
- Petite: Koma places embellishment high, at the neckline and shoulder, which draws the eye up and lengthens a shorter frame. Mini and midi lengths need no alteration.

About David Koma
David Koma is a London house built on sculptural eveningwear, founded in 2009 by the Georgian-born designer of the same name. He took an MA at Central Saint Martins, led Mugler from 2013 to 2017, and is now creative director of Blumarine alongside his own label. The house is known for body-contouring construction, engineered crystal and metal embellishment, and precisely placed cutouts. Koma designs from the body outward, treating hardware as jewellery and cutting each piece to hold its line in motion. David Koma is a Coveti editor favourite for red-carpet dressing, black-tie evenings, and occasion wear, and a recurring choice for women buying ready-to-wear they intend to keep.
“Koma cuts close to the body and lets one strong detail carry the piece: a crystal strap, a feather trim, a satin lapel. The Velvet Bow V-Neck Mini Dress holds its shape on the body, which is why it photographs the way it does.”
Who Wears David Koma
David Koma is a red-carpet house first. Beyoncé wore custom Koma to
perform “Be Alive” at the 2022 Academy Awards and again on the Renaissance
World Tour. Jennifer Lopez has worn the label since her glow-in-the-dark
look at the 2011 American Music Awards, and more recently on Saturday Night
Live. Olivia Rodrigo, Gal Gadot and Dua Lipa have all worn the house on
stage and on the carpet. That is the register the clothes are cut for:
photographed, moving, seen in the round.
