Black Sequin Dress with Slit

This black sequin dress with slit is a floor-length gown with a wide boat neckline worn off the shoulders and a high split up one leg. Sequins cover the polyester fabric, which has medium stretch according to the supplier, and it pulls on without a zip. It is longer and more fitted than a classic flapper shift, so think of it as the evening gown among our sequin flapper dresses.

Wearing the Black Sequin Dress to a Gatsby Gala

Gatsby balls and black-tie New Year's Eve parties call for length, and this dress gives it. The off-shoulder neckline leaves room for a choker or a short faux pearl strand, and the split shows a T-strap heel with each step. Set your hair in finger waves or a low chignon, add long black satin gloves, and you have a 1920s-inspired look that still belongs at a modern gala.

Where the Slit Sits on This Sequin Dress

The supplier calls it a high split, and the photos confirm it runs high up the leg. That makes walking and dancing easy in a floor-length dress, but it also means you will want skin-tone shorts or smooth underwear. For prom or an awards dinner, black keeps the shine elegant.

Black Sequin Dress FAQ

What sizes does it come in?

S, M, L and XL, with no XXL. Use the size chart on this page and go by your bust and hip measurements.

Is it a flapper dress?

Not in the strict sense. Flapper dresses were loose and knee-length; this is a fitted floor-length gown. It suits Gatsby and Roaring Twenties parties where guests come in glamorous evening wear.

What bra works with the neckline?

The off-shoulder cut calls for a strapless bra or adhesive cups, since regular straps would show.
