Sheer Beaded Dress

Our sheer beaded dress is a floor-length black mesh column, completely see-through, scattered from neckline to ankle with white pearl-look beads in mixed sizes and tiny sparkling ones in between. It is made to be layered: over a swimsuit at the pool, over a slip or bodysuit at night. A border of beads also traces the round neckline and the armholes, which frames the shoulders.

How to Layer the Sheer Beaded Dress

Because the mesh hides nothing, what you wear under it decides the look. A black one-piece swimsuit turns it into a beach or pool cover-up, and a black bikini gives more contrast. For an evening event, pick a black slip, a fitted bodysuit or a short slip dress so the faux pearl scatter floats over a solid base. Underlayers are not included: the swimwear, bag and sunglasses in our photos are styling only.

Pearl-Look Beads on a Black Mesh Dress for Party Nights

Over a black slip, the white beads look like faux pearls scattered on dark water, a mood that suits a faux pearl Gatsby party, a rooftop birthday or a festival night. The dress skims the body in a straight line to the ankle, so flat sandals at the beach and block heels after dark both work. Find more embellished pieces in our beaded dress collection.

Sheer Mesh Dress FAQ

Is the dress see-through?

Yes, completely. Plan a swimsuit, slip or bodysuit underneath; it is designed as a layer, not as a standalone dress.

What are the white beads?

Pearl-look beads in several sizes, mixed with small sparkling beads, spread over the whole mesh and around the edges.

How do I choose a size?

It comes in S to XL with a straight, body-skimming cut. Compare your bust with our size guide, and take the larger size if you plan to wear a thicker bodysuit under it.
