Story & heritage
Bibhu Mohapatra’s Claret Double Duchess Sheer Crepe Dress translates the house’s formal draping into a cocktail silhouette. The official description identifies the single Amrapali sleeve as the defining element, balancing volume on one side with a bare opposite shoulder.
It is a useful icon for the brand because it shows that Mohapatra’s signatures are not limited to gowns: asymmetry, draped bodices, and controlled drama also drive his shorter evening dresses.
Materials & craft
The product page lists double duchess satin and satin crepe, both 100% polyester, plus a 57% viscose, 43% polyester lining. Details include a center-back invisible zipper, hook-and-eye closure, spot-clean care, an eight-week delivery window, and made-in-USA production.
How to choose & style
This is the dress to choose when a gown is too formal but a simple cocktail dress is too quiet. The asymmetric sleeve gives enough shape for an event photograph.
A single cuff on the bare-arm side balances the silhouette; keep shoes clean and high so the midi length stays elongated.
