The Benedict Dress

Black devoré silk-blend, painterly red and green florals, fluid midi silhouette — The Benedict Dress by RIXO is a poetic expression of modern romance and vintage soul, from R899.

This devoré silk-blend midi dress blooms with florals that appear almost hand-painted against a deep black base — the kind of detail that draws a second look and holds it. A subtly scooped neckline and form-skimming silhouette flatter without clinging, while the velvet-textured devoré gives the fabric a richness that catches the light beautifully. A black crepe de chine lining ensures comfort and modesty beneath the sheer outer layer. The midi length dances around the calves with quiet drama and ease. From candlelit dinners to artful celebrations, this is a timeless piece that turns every step into a story.

This dress is a silk-blend devoré — please handle with care. Garments are steamed before dispatch but delicate fabrics may need a gentle steam or simply hanging on the day of your event to allow any creasing to drop.
