Helsa Mix Media Slip Dress
Our Mix Media Slip Dress is a study in contrast and balance. We've combined a fluid silk-blend bodice with soft matte satin panels at the hem, creating a dress that moves beautifully and catches light at every angle. The bias-cut silhouette skims the body without clinging, flattering a range of shapes with ease.
Adjustable spaghetti straps let you customize the neckline and fit. The midi length hits just below the knee for a modern, elegant proportion. Whether you're dressing it up with heels for evening or pairing it with sneakers and a denim jacket for daytime, this slip dress adapts to your life. We designed it for the woman who wants one piece that does it all—effortlessly.
- Silk-blend charmeuse bodice with matte satin contrast panels

Fabric & construction
The helsa mix media slip dress combines two distinct fabrics to create visual interest and luxurious hand feel. The bodice is crafted from a silk-blend charmeuse with 18% silk and 82% viscose, giving it a subtle sheen and cool-to-the-touch quality. The hem panels use a matte crepe-back satin that adds weight and structure, preventing the dress from riding up or clinging.
We cut the dress on the bias, meaning the fabric is oriented at a 45-degree angle to its natural grain. This technique, borrowed from couture tradition, allows the dress to drape and move with your body rather than against it. The result is a fit that feels custom without requiring tailoring. Every seam is French-finished to prevent fraying and ensure the dress lasts season after season.
Sizing & fit
True to size with adjustable versatility
Our Mix Media Slip Dress runs true to standard US sizing. We recommend ordering your usual size for a relaxed, skimming fit. The adjustable straps offer approximately 3 inches of length variation, so you can raise or lower the neckline to suit your preference and torso length.
The bias cut provides natural stretch and give, accommodating fluctuations in fit throughout the day. If you’re between sizes or prefer a closer fit through the bodice, we suggest sizing down. For a looser, more relaxed drape, size up. The dress is designed to skim rather than cling, so there’s room for personal preference in how you like your slip dresses to fit.
Care instructions
To preserve the silk-blend charmeuse and satin contrast panels, we recommend dry cleaning for best results. If you prefer to wash at home, hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent designed for delicate fabrics. Do not wring or twist the fabric—instead, press out excess water between two clean towels.
Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight, which can fade the dye over time. If wrinkles appear, steam the dress on a low setting or use an iron on the silk setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and fabric. Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the straps and prevent stretching. With proper care, this slip dress will remain a wardrobe staple for years.

Questions about the Mix Media Slip Dress
The dress is fully lined with smooth viscose, so you don't need shapewear or a slip underneath. The lining prevents the outer fabric from clinging and provides enough coverage that most customers wear seamless undergarments without any visibility concerns. If you prefer additional smoothing, a lightweight seamless brief works well without adding bulk.
Yes, the spaghetti straps are thin but structured enough to accommodate a strapless or adhesive bra if you prefer additional support. Many customers with smaller busts wear the dress without a bra thanks to the lining. The adjustable straps sit flat against the shoulders and don't dig in, even if you're wearing a strapless bra underneath.
Noir is our most versatile option—it works for nearly any occasion and pairs with bold or neutral accessories equally well. Ivory is ideal if you want something softer for daytime or warm-weather events, though it does show stains more readily. Deep Emerald is a standout choice for evening and adds richness without requiring much jewelry or styling effort.
The bias-cut construction and silk-blend fabric are naturally wrinkle-resistant compared to cotton or linen. If creases do appear from packing, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom or use a handheld steamer on low heat. The fabric responds well to steam and smooths out quickly. We recommend folding the dress along the bias rather than across the width to minimize creasing.
No, the dress is fully opaque thanks to the full lining and the weight of the satin contrast panels. Even the Ivory colorway is not sheer when worn. The silk-blend charmeuse has enough body that it doesn't become transparent in bright light or when stretched.
