About Larmes
What is in the Larmes collection
Midi dresses are the largest group, mostly A-line. The Elin Mock Neck Satin Midi Dress by Larmes and the Inez High Neck Synthetic Silk Midi Dress are the covered necklines. The Estella A-line Long Sleeved Cotton Spandex Midi Dress and the Giovanna A-line Cowl Neck Wool Blend Midi Dress are cooler-weather picks. Cape sleeves are a house signature: see the Viella Cape Sleeve Satin Midi Dress, the Abigal Cape Sleeve Maxi Dress and the Habiba A-line Cape Sleeved Twill Silk Floor Length Dress.
For evenings there are the Lea Sequin Midi Dress, the Goldie Asymmetric Semi-Heart Neck Chiffon Floor Length Dress and the Venus Gathered Asymmetric Neck Silk Chiffon Floor Length Dress. Workwear is a real part of the range: the Priti Peplum Button Blazer, the Priti Straight Silk Pants, the Sidonie Pencil Skirt and the Irene Peplum Notch Lapel Twill Blazer all come with matching pieces.
About the label
Larmes makes dresses, separates and outerwear with fluid lines in luxurious fabrics. Seaming is placed to follow natural curves rather than fight them, which is why the A-line dresses hang cleanly without clinging.
When to wear Larmes
The cape sleeve dresses are the ones to choose for weddings and formal lunches; the cape sleeve dress page shows them with other labels. Long sleeved and high neck midis such as Estella, Inez and Elin cover shoulders and arms, which customers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait ask for most; they appear in the modest edit and work for Ramadan and Eid visits. The Priti and Irene blazers with their matching skirts and pants are office pieces for US, Australian and Canadian customers. The sequin and chiffon floor length dresses belong to elegant evenings.
Which Larmes dress suits a wedding guest?
The Viella Cape Sleeve Satin Midi Dress is the safe choice for a daytime ceremony. For an evening reception, the Goldie chiffon floor length dress or the Lea Sequin Midi Dress. See the full wedding guest edit for more.
Does Larmes run true to size?
The A-line dresses are forgiving through the hip. Cotton spandex and spandex homespun styles have some stretch; satin, twill and taffeta do not, so order up if you are between sizes. Many dresses can be made to order with a longer hem.
