Sexy Beaded Dress

Our sexy beaded dress in black plays two textures against each other: a fitted bodice of nude-tone mesh densely covered in black beads up top and a skirt of layered black feather trim below. A high beaded collar fastens as a halter with a tied keyhole at the front, and the back is completely open down to the waist.

How the Black Beaded Halter Dress Is Built

The beads give the nude mesh structure and sparkle, so from a distance the bodice reads as black embellishment on skin. The feathers bring movement to the hem. From the front the high collar looks covered and graphic; turning around reveals the bare back. That contrast is what makes the dress feel daring without a deep neckline or a slit.

Where to Wear a Feathered Black Party Dress

Black feathers and beads are the jazz-age party at its most glamorous. We see this dress at Gatsby nights, speakeasy bars, birthday photoshoots and New Year's Eve countdowns. Keep the jewelry to a statement earring, pull hair up to show the back and finish with black heels. For softer beaded styles, explore our beaded flapper dresses.

Sexy Beaded Dress FAQ

How revealing is the back?

Fully open from the neck to the waist. We recommend adhesive cups in your skin tone instead of a bra.

Will the feathers shed?

A few loose fibers are normal at first. Shake the skirt gently outdoors before the event and store the dress hanging with space around it.

Which size should I take?

Go by your body bust: 33.5 to 34.3 in (85 to 87 cm) is an S, 34.6 to 35.8 in (88 to 91 cm) an M, and the guide continues to 37.8 in (96 cm) for XL.
