Petrol has something special about it: dark and chic like navy, yet more vibrant when the light catches it. In this IVKO dress, the deep colour forms the perfect backdrop for delicate floral motifs in turquoise, pink and yellow. The result is rich in colour without ever feeling busy – exactly the balance that makes you want to wear this dress again and again.

The bodice follows the feminine line beautifully and clearly defines the waist. From there, the dress gains movement. The long skirt falls generously, while the fine vertical pattern visually elongates the silhouette and makes it appear even more elegant. As you walk, the skirt moves beautifully, giving the dress something special from every angle.

At the front, there is a zip that lets you determine the look yourself. Worn almost closed, the neckline appears understated and elegant; opened a little further, the dress immediately takes on a softer, more feminine character. A small detail, but one that allows you to wear the same dress in different ways.

Petrol is also surprisingly easy to combine. Cognac or warm brown creates a rich, elegant look, as beautifully shown by the shoes in the photo. Dark blue or black gives the outfit more strength, while an accessory in pink, turquoise or yellow brings out one of the smaller colours in the pattern.

The combination of 68% wool and 32% viscose gives the dress the warmth and rich appearance of wool, while the viscose contributes to the smooth drape of the knit. You particularly notice how beautifully this combination works in the long skirt: feminine, fluid and refined.

This is the kind of dress in which you look polished without appearing overly styled. Special enough for dinner or a celebration, but far too beautiful to leave in the wardrobe waiting only for special occasions.
