How we built this table: construction, fit and shell composition are taken word for word from each style’s page on solacelondon.com; colourways, prices and the sizes Coveti holds come from our live catalogue on 7 November 2026. Nothing is estimated. Where the house publishes nothing, the cell would read “Not published by the house”.

By setting

A black tie ball. Floor length, and a shine that reads under low light. The Cardinale, a corseted maxi with a crystal embellished cowl, and the Platinum colourways of the Seri, Veya and Winslow are the strongest choices.

A restaurant dinner. You will be seated for hours, so choose a style the house cuts with stretch through the fabric, such as the Audran and the Barbeau, and keep the length practical for stairs and taxis.

A party at home. A mini works: the Bessette with its detachable wrap gives you two looks in one evening.

Platinum, the colour of this season

Fall Winter 2026 brings Platinum versions of the Seri, Veya, Winslow and Pieta. Platinum is a cool, pale grey with a sheen in the twill, and it photographs as silver without the glare of sequins. Pair it with silver sandals and clear crystal earrings. Our gold and silver Solace London guide lists every metallic shade.

New Year’s Eve around the world

  • US: Solace London cuts in UK sizes, so subtract four for your US size: a UK 8 is a US 4 and a UK 16 is a US 12.
  • UK: UK sizes 4 to 16 are the house’s own scale, so order your usual size and check the fit line in the table above. London New Year’s Eve balls usually ask for black tie, so plan on floor length.
  • EU: Add 28 to the UK size for the European equivalent: a UK 8 is an EU 36 and a UK 12 is an EU 40.
  • GCC: The same UK sizes apply in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait. Dubai New Year’s Eve galas often run outdoors on warm nights, so the lighter twill styles suit them.

For the full measurement chart see our Solace London size guide.
