Why it's worth it
Lace sleeves, plunging neck, baroque skirt — three decisions that all land.
The Edit
Silk CDC from collarbone to floor — the bodice stays black and minimal while a Byzantine placement print colonizes the entire skirt, its gold-and-jewel scrollwork scaled to floor-length drama. Sheer lace sleeves run wrist to shoulder, a single neckline button closes the back, and a front split cut to the thigh keeps the silhouette moving. The transition from plain lace to printed silk at hip-level is the seam that makes the dress.
Insider Tip
No stretch through the silk skirt — size for the hip, not the waist.
