Story & heritage
Alex Perry launched his label in 1992 creating gowns, corsets and sheaths, and the house remains grounded in red-carpet-ready womenswear. The Draped Sequined Corset Dress sits squarely in that vocabulary: a strapless off-shoulder corset dress with asymmetric hip draping and an all-over sequin finish.
The silhouette also reflects the ready-to-wear direction Perry took globally from 2013, translating formal gown codes into focused, event-ready pieces for the modern evening wardrobe.
Materials & craft
Source-listed construction notes identify 95% polyester, 5% elastane; lining 84% acetate, 16% polyester. The key design points are strapless off-shoulder corset, asymmetric hip drape, all-over sequin finish, boning, zipped back, giving the piece its sharp formal line while keeping the surface clean enough for evening styling.
How to choose & style
Style it as the focal point: keep jewellery close to the body, choose a narrow heel, and let the neckline or drape set the proportion. The strongest choice is usually the version that best matches the event's formality rather than the loudest colour.
For Alex Perry, fit is the statement. Prioritise the bodice and hemline first, then choose colour by mood: black for restraint, white for bridal clarity, metallic sequins for after-dark impact, and saturated satin for a red-carpet read.
