Make an entrance in the Séverine Plus Size One Shoulder Formal Dress, a striking floor-length design created around clean lines, considered draping and an asymmetric neckline.
The sculptural one-shoulder bodice draws the eye upward, while soft diagonal ruching shapes the waist and flows into a beautifully streamlined skirt. Available in rich Burgundy, Emerald Green and timeless Black, Séverine brings modern sophistication to formal occasions without relying on heavy embellishment.
Why This Dress Works Beautifully on Curvy Figures
Séverine uses asymmetry particularly well on a curvy figure. The diagonal neckline opens the upper body and creates a strong visual line across the shoulders, while the single covered shoulder provides an elegant counterbalance to the exposed side.
Across the bodice, diagonal folds converge towards the side waist rather than cutting horizontally across the figure. This creates definition through the middle while allowing the fabric to skim smoothly over the tummy and hips.
The long, relatively clean skirt continues that vertical line to the floor, balancing the fitted upper body without adding unnecessary volume. A front split introduces movement and prevents the floor-length silhouette from feeling heavy.
The result is glamorous and feminine, but distinctly modern.

Fabric & Feel
The fabric has a smooth, refined appearance with enough visual body to hold the architectural neckline and defined shoulder fold.
Through the waist, it falls into soft diagonal folds before transitioning into a cleaner skirt, creating a balance between structure and fluidity.
Fit Information
Séverine has a shaped silhouette through the bodice, waist and upper hip before falling more freely towards the hem.
The diagonal waist draping adds visual softness through the midsection, while the asymmetric neckline brings attention towards the face and shoulders. The floor-length skirt is streamlined rather than heavily voluminous, with the front split allowing greater visual movement through the lower half.
Available Sizes
Available in sizes 12–32, with custom sizing available for the perfect fit.
