Founded in Montreal in 1959, Le Château is known for its dressy styles. Our collection of dresses covers every occasion: evening dresses, cocktail dresses, elegant dresses for the office or a dinner out, and wedding guest dresses. Choose your length, mini, long or knee-length and midi dresses and your style, from the little black dress to sequin, satin and velvet designs.
December is the month to dress up. For a family Christmas dinner, choose a velvet midi dress: elegant without being too formal. For the office holiday party, a cocktail dress with sequins or in satin makes a statement with heels and a clutch. For New Year’s Eve, go for a long or metallic evening dress, or a shade from our Red Edit. On cold nights, wear your long dress with a long coat that covers the hem.
For a gala, an evening wedding or a graduation ceremony, our long dresses and evening gowns feature elegant cuts and shimmering fabrics like satin and sequins.
Between a day dress and a gala gown, the cocktail dress is the most versatile. Mini or midi, fitted or flared, it’s perfect for parties, birthdays and date nights.
For a wedding, choose a wedding guest dress that fits the dress code and the time of day: a midi dress for a daytime ceremony, a long dress for an evening reception. Add a wrap or a light jacket for cooler evenings.
For prom or graduation, choose a long gown or a sequin evening dress that stays comfortable all night long.
A timeless classic, the little black dress goes from the office with a blazer to a night out with statement jewellery.
A bolero or wrap adds warmth on cooler evenings, while an evening clutch and statement jewelry complete the look. See the latest in new arrivals.
Our dresses come in XX-Small to XX-Large. Fitted bustier and sheath styles are best chosen by your bust and waist measurements; see the Le Chateau size guide.
Le Château dresses are available online at suzyshier.com and in our combined Suzy Shier and Le Château stores.
A cocktail dress is usually mini or midi, perfect for parties and receptions. An evening gown is floor-length, made for formal events and black-tie weddings.
A mini or midi cocktail dress in sequins, satin or velvet is always a safe choice. For New Year's Eve, a metallic evening dress adds a festive touch.
Follow the dress code on the invitation and avoid white and ivory, which are reserved for the bride. Choose your length based on the time of day: midi for a daytime ceremony, long for an evening reception. For a winter wedding, go for rich textures like a velour or satin-like midi, or a gown in a deep jewel tone, and add a bolero for warmth.
Le Château has its own sizing, so check the Le Château size guide before you order. If you're between two sizes in a fitted style, follow your largest measurement and check the product details for stretch.
