Deep maroon satin, sweetheart neckline, dramatic asymmetric side drape — The Calina Midi Dress by Desirée Iyama in Maroon is a rich, romantic statement piece that blends classic sophistication with contemporary edge, from R739.

Sumptuous in colour and considered in construction, the Maroon Calina is occasion dressing at its most refined. The structured bodice and defined waist create a flattering silhouette, while signature asymmetric side draping and subtle pleating add depth, movement, and dimension. The deep maroon satin catches the light beautifully and carries warmth and elegance into every setting. Perfect for formal dinners, weddings, cocktail evenings, or any occasion calling for a quietly confident entrance. Ethically handcrafted in Lagos, Nigeria.

How To Rent

Choose your rental start date on the calendar (the day you'd like your item to arrive) and select a 4-day, 8-day or 16-day rental. Bookings must be placed at least one day in advance, and weekends are greyed out as we don't deliver on Saturdays or Sundays. If your rental ends on a weekend or public holiday, we'll collect on the next working day.

How do delivery and returns work?

Delivery and return collection are both pre-booked for you, so there's nothing to arrange. Your rental arrives ready to wear, and when you're done, simply repack it in the same box, garment bag and hanger it came in, attach the return waybill, and have it ready for collection on your final rental day. See full shipping info here.

What's covered, and can I cancel?

Every rental includes snag & spill insurance, covering minor damage like small marks and broken zips (specialist stain removal is charged separately). Plans changed? Cancel 5 or more working days before your start date for a full refund, a reschedule, or a gift card. See our full Cancellation & Flexibility Policy for details.
