Product Insights & Style Tips

Self-Portrait's Velvet Embellished Bow Maxi Dress is a luxe, evening moment. In plush velvet with a deep sheen, the waist and side cutouts glitter with embellishments. Trailing strap details add motion, while the boat neckline and sleeveless profile keep the line clean and sculptural. The full length column silhouette drapes with quiet drama.

The dress closes with a concealed back zip for a smooth, uninterrupted line. Polyester drape keeps the fabric fluid, with dry clean only care and import status. The model is 5 ft 10 in tall and wears a US size 4, which helps suggest how it sits on a taller frame. Thigh high side slits yield movement and a bold flash, while the sleeveless profile keeps the look clean enough to pair with a sharp blazer or a delicate shawl. Embellishments at the waist and side cutouts define shape without bulk.

Self-Portrait lives in a world of feminine drama with luxe fabrics and statement details. This velvet maxi nods to that code through its glow, structure, and glamour, making a standout pick for formal evenings. Style it with minimalist heels and a slim clutch to let the embellishment take center stage. Priced at 780.

Style Check

Aesthetics: 9/10

Velvet sheen and sculptural lines make the piece visually arresting for a modern, editorial crowd. A boat neckline and sleeveless silhouette keep the upper clean, while waist embellishment and side cutouts add glittering focal points. Trailing strap details inject movement, and the full length column form reads high fashion with quiet drama.

Craftsmanship: 8/10

Concealed back zip ensures a seamless line that mirrors the description, while the velvet drape locks the silhouette into place with restrained gravity. Embellishments at the waist and at the side cutouts appear anchored and deliberate, not excessive. The strap detailing suggests careful motion design, and the overall construction reads polished rather than rushed.

Affordability: $$$

Investing in this velvet maxi feels justified by the strong design language and dramatic presence. The luxe fabric, embellishments, and sculptural silhouette elevate evening dressing beyond basics, while still reading as wearable with tailoring or a shawl. The price aligns with its high fashion appeal, offering editorial impact without tipping into unattainable luxury.

First making its launch in 2013, creative director Han Chong’s contemporary take on feminine occasion wear gained rapid popularity (no one can say no his range of stunning dresses). Chong’s use of lace, hand-cut embroidery and clever use of sheer has managed to successfully marry femininity with sleek silhouettes. What makes Self Portrait even more attractive (if you ask us), is not only does the collection have feminine aesthetics, the pieces also somehow fuses a sense of edgy street - a juxtaposition between soft touches with bold-attitude which subtly with confidence, exert girl power. This is what makes Self Portrait romantic and androgynous at the same time. Think layered textures and a mixture of unique materials and textiles that intertwine, play together, in an harmonious way that brings everything together so beautifully. Designed for the modern and busy, fashion-loving girl, you can expect these pieces to be transitional from day-to-night, also be suited for any occasion that may come up, and of course, make a statement and be noticed.
