Why it's worth it
That gold plate does the work of a belt, a buckle, and a statement.
The Edit
Floor-length gown constructed in matte black fabric with a fitted turtleneck bodice that cuts away completely at the sides, exposing the waist before being anchored by a wide gold metal plate. The skirt is gathered from the hardware piece and falls in soft pleats to the floor. The absence of straps and the high neck create a clean vertical line interrupted only by the single hardware detail.
Is now a good time?
