Gepur evening dresses

Choose an evening dress according to the dress code. "Black tie" on an invitation means a maxi or below-the-knee midi with restrained detailing, while "cocktail" allows a mini, sequins and an open back. This catalog brings together stylish, statement evening dresses by Ukrainian brand Gepur in three lengths — from sheath silhouettes to corset styles with a full skirt. For other cuts, browse all Gepur dresses.

• Mini — birthdays, parties, New Year's Eve: find festive ideas in New Year's Eve dresses. For dancing, flared and A-line skirts are more comfortable than a sheath; a similar format is cocktail dresses.
• Midi — office parties, the theater, restaurants, weddings as a guest. If you're a bridesmaid, see our bridesmaid dresses.
• Maxi — prom, weddings, formal receptions. For a strict dress code, choose long floor-length evening dresses with a straight cut or a slit.

Fabrics: how an evening dress behaves on the body

A women's evening dress in the same cut fits differently in satin and in micro-scuba.

• Satin reflects light and traces every line of the body, including underwear, so wear a seamless nude set underneath. Use a steamer to remove creases — an iron leaves shiny marks. Browse our satin dresses.
• Micro-scuba and crepe are dense and stretchy, hold the shape of sheath and mermaid silhouettes, and barely wrinkle when you travel.
• Velvet and velour are for autumn and winter: deep color, warm texture. The pile crushes easily, so store these dresses on a hanger.
• Silk is the base of slip dresses — these are our lingerie-inspired evening dresses.
• Sequin mesh and organza add shine and volume and keep their shape thanks to the lining.

How to choose an evening dress for your figure and fit

A boned corset holds the waist and bust without a bra: sit down, and if the bones dig into your ribs, you need a different size. See the models in corset dresses. Dresses labeled Perfect Fit with shaping panels smooth the stomach and hips in a bodycon silhouette.

A-line, wrap and draped styles balance wider hips, a bustier visually broadens narrow shoulders, and an asymmetric neckline narrows broad ones. With heels, a maxi hem should end 1–1.5 cm above the floor — try the dress on in the shoes you'll wear to the event. If you're under 165 cm, wear a mid-calf midi with heels of at least 5 cm. If in doubt, our manager will confirm the model's measurements before payment.

"Test an evening dress in motion, not in front of the mirror. Sit down, raise your arms, take a wide step: the corset shouldn't press on your ribs, the slit shouldn't open above mid-thigh, and the straps shouldn't slip. If you haven't adjusted the dress once in five minutes, the fit is right."

What to wear with an evening dress: shoes, outerwear, accessories

Shoes. With a maxi — 7–10 cm heels, with the toe peeking out from under the hem. With a full-skirted mini — pointed-toe pumps: an ankle strap visually shortens the leg. With satin — matte leather or suede, not patent. Find a pair among our high-heel shoes; with closed-toe shoes, wear matte nude tights of 8–15 den.

Outerwear. At a ceremony, a longline straight-cut blazer will cover a slip dress or bare shoulders. With a maxi in winter, choose an ankle-length coat or a short one that ends at the waist: a knee-length coat over a long hem breaks the proportions.

Accessories. Follow the one-statement rule: rhinestones on the bodice — stud earrings and no necklace, a straight neckline — a necklace, a high neck — earrings only. Pick an evening clutch without a chain for sequined dresses — metal can snag them. Find jewelry in fashion jewelry and ready-made evening looks in the Evening Outfit collection.

It's best to buy a beautiful evening dress online 1–2 weeks before the event: delivery across Ukraine takes 1–3 days, which leaves time for a fitting and an exchange. You can try on and buy a stylish evening dress in Gepur stores in Kyiv, Odesa, Lviv, Dnipro and Ivano-Frankivsk.
