Black Lace and Sequin Dress

Our Black Lace and Sequin Dress is a floor-length evening gown for nights when a short fringe dress feels too playful: black sequins from strap to ankle, a deep plunging V-neckline and a low open back, each edged in fine eyelash lace. Browse every black sequin dress we carry and you will see this is the most dramatic of the group.

How the Black Sequin Dress Is Cut and Trimmed

The silhouette is a slim column that skims the body, close to a mermaid line. Eyelash lace frames the plunge, runs along the wide sleeveless straps and outlines the back, and a sheer lace edge finishes the hem at the front. There is no visible fastening on the front. We say it plainly: the neckline and the back are very revealing, so plan what goes underneath before the night. Fashion tape or a stick-on bra works far better here than a strapless one.

Styling This Lace Dress for a Gatsby Gala or New Year's Eve

In our photos the gown is worn with long black opera gloves, pointed black heels and sparkling jewelry. For a Great Gatsby gala we add a beaded headpiece and a long faux pearl strand hanging down the open back. For New Year's Eve, keep the jewelry to a pair of drop earrings and let the sequins catch the light on their own.

Black Lace Dress FAQ

Which sizes does this dress come in?

S, M and L only. The body is slim and close-fitting, so if you sit between two sizes we suggest the larger one.

Are the opera gloves and heels included?

No. You receive the dress only; the gloves, shoes and jewelry show how we like to style it.

How long is the gown?

It is a full-length gown: the sequins run down to the ankle. Try it with the shoes you plan to wear so the hem sits where you want it.
