Dinner
Seated for two hours in bright, close light. Everything a fabric does when it creases, it does now.
One dress, seven hours, four rooms. Dinner, a show, a table and the walk out — nowhere else does an evening ask a dress to do quite so much in a single night.
Real photos from our shoots, and every dress here is in stock right now. Tap a look to choose your size.
Every order leaves our Calgary warehouse, packed flat with the folds where the fabric will forgive them. It goes by tracked courier with signature on delivery, and the tracking number reaches you by email the moment the parcel is handed over.
An order placed on Friday evening leaves on Monday. Any duties or taxes are set by the destination authorities and are the recipient’s responsibility — see shipping & delivery for the detail.
An evening here is not an event, it is a sequence — and each hour of it tests something different.
Seated for two hours in bright, close light. Everything a fabric does when it creases, it does now.
A tight seat, cold air conditioning and a bag on the lap. Straps have to hold without adjustment.
Standing, moving, photographed constantly. This is the hour the dress is actually chosen for.
A long walk through a casino floor and desert air outside. A hem that survives the carpet and the kerb.
You dress for the interior and cross the heat twice. Fabric that needs air is the wrong answer for the walk; fabric that needs warmth is the wrong answer for the room.
Hang it as soon as it arrives and give it a day, or a shower’s worth of steam if the night is sooner than that. Satin and crepe recover well; fine chiffon needs the longest.
Las Vegas is the rare city whose calendar never closes — but what each part of it asks for is quite different.
Chapels, resort terraces and Red Rock ceremonies happen every month of the year. Guests fly in, so the dress has to come out of a case and look unpacked within the hour.
Client dinners and industry evenings where the dress has to read as considered rather than dressed up. Plain, well cut and quiet does more than decoration.
Three weeks of parties and New Year on the Strip, which is the one night of the year the whole city is standing outdoors after midnight.
Everything below is in stock today and ready to dispatch. Available sizes are listed on each card.








Measurements do the work. It takes ten minutes and saves a return.
For corset and bustier styles the deciding measurement is underbust, not bust — a boned bodice has almost no give and has to sit correctly vertically as well.
Want to try before you buy? Our New York boutique at 419 Broome St has the full collection on the rail — details here. Otherwise send your measurements and the dress you are considering to info@the-clipse.com and we answer with an honest recommendation.
