Small storage, considered in the styling
A discreet opening keeps the skirt’s surface visually quiet; a more obvious placement becomes part of the gown’s finish. The ease of using a pocket depends on its position, depth and the cut of the skirt, all of which vary by design.
Individual product images may not show every construction detail, so check the description or ask the retailer whether a particular gown has usable pockets.
Viel has functional openings in the side seams of a fitted satin-Mikado midi skirt. The pockets sit within a tailored line, alongside a rear slit and a separate cape layer. The feature is therefore relevant even in a narrow dress, not only a full skirt.
Pockets can sit quietly in a tailored midi skirt or disappear within the greater volume of a ball gown.
