Rasario Velvet Maxi Dress with Panniers and Puff Sleeves in Black
The Rasario Velvet Maxi Dress with Panniers and Puff Sleeves in Black is an authentic Black maxi dress from the Fall Winter 2026 collection. Available now at Coveti, a curated luxury-fashion retailer specialising in designer ready-to-wear with guaranteed authenticity and worldwide shipping. It carries Rasario’s signature of sculpted corsetry and translucent eveningwear. The house draws on the femininity of the designer’s native Abkhazia and cuts each gown around a precise bustier line in fluid couture fabrics, and this maxi dress is built for red-carpet dressing, black-tie galas, and evening events.
Crafted from velvet, this floor-length dress is defined by sculptural proportions and a silhouette that gradually flares towards the hem. Voluminous sleeves and panniers at the hips shape the figure, creating the signature silhouette of the collection. A concealed back zip and open back detail frame the upper back, while a high back slit allows ease of movement. The Moscow atelier builds it to the same couture standard as the gowns.

- Hourglass: Fitted bodices, wrap closures, and waist-defining details flatter natural curves, let the fabric skim rather than cling.
