Placate Dress - Black

Drape-back silk halter dress in jet black with signature extra-long ribbon ties

The Placate Dress perfectly embodies a Common Hours house signature: the liquid column of silk. Crafted from high-shine double silk satin milled in Paris, it is weightless and cool to the touch, falling on the body like poured liquid.

Cut by hand and made in Australia, Placate features extra-long Japanese double-silk contrast ribbon ties: another Common Hours signature design detail. The open drape back falling into a column line while the high cowl neckline frames the collarbones. Complete with inseam side pockets and a high centre-back split for movement and ease, Placate offers a relaxed, effortless approach to evening dressing that feels highly impactful despite its deceptive design simplicity.
