Satin Evening Stole

Wore the plum over a black slip dress to a November wedding and it looked deliberate rather than panicked. It drapes off the elbows beautifully and the satin catches the light.

Slid it over a red strappy dress and it gave the whole outfit a polished edge. The satin has a soft sheen and is long enough to wrap twice around my arms.

I drape it open at the elbows for dinner and wrap it for the walk to the car park. So light I forget I am wearing it.

The colour is deep and moody, closer to a berry wine. I wrapped it round my arms at a hen do dinner and it stayed put while I ate. Lovely long length.

Did not expect it to be so light. It fits in my tiny evening bag for the walk to the venue, then comes out when the restaurant gets draughty. Plum goes surprisingly well with my emerald dress.

The burgundy is a deep, lovely shade, but smooth satin means it slides off if I move around a lot, so I knot it or hold it. Brilliant for sitting at a dinner table.

Tried it draped on the shoulders, wrapped round the arms and loose at the elbows, and I like all three. Smooth satin, lovely shade, plenty of width.

Beautiful autumn colour for a wedding. The only faff is hand washing, drying flat and ironing on low, so it is not one for a last-minute outfit.

It is one size and I am broad across the shoulders, so wrapped it feels a touch small on me. I would size up if there were a bigger option. The burgundy is lovely though.

Gorgeous plum and the satin feels smooth, but it creased after being folded into my bag, so it needed a quick low iron before wearing again. Still my go-to for parties.

Needed something over my bare-shoulder dress for the cold ceremony hall and this plum stole was just right. Flowy, smooth, and it does not hide the dress.

The church was freezing and my dress had thin straps. Wrapped the black stole round my shoulders and arms and felt covered without losing the look. Dried flat after a quick hand wash.
