Satin Black Dress Midi

A black midi slip dress with lace trim, front and back

This black midi dress has a deep V-neckline edged in lace at the front, and the back mirrors it with an equally low V, also framed in lace. That detail makes it read differently depending on how you move through a room. The fluid, high-shine fabric skims the body and falls to mid-calf with a clean, unbroken line.

• Deep V-neck front and back, both trimmed in black lace
• Midi length, hitting around mid-calf
• Sleeveless, wide-strap silhouette
• High-shine, liquid-drape fabric in solid black

The back neckline dips low enough that a standard bra will not work with it. Styling it without, or with a backless adhesive option, keeps the line clean. The lace trim at both necklines adds texture without bulk.

It works for a date night, a holiday cocktail party, or a New Year's Eve event where you want something that looks considered without being overdressed. Pair it with strappy heeled sandals and a small evening bag, as seen here, and the look is complete. The glossy finish does catch light, so it reads as evening wear rather than daytime.
