Why do we love this dress?

We are obsessed with the captivating black colour of this gown that makes you known even from afar, as well as the plunging V-neck with slender shoulder straps that form a classy style.

Why should I buy this dress?

This Ulla Johnson gown is designed with a timeless open back and a ruffle-embellished waist that draws the eye to your natural feminine structure. Its pull-on silhouette allows for easy, hassle-free wear every time.

Where would I wear this dress?

You can wear this gown to cocktail parties and weddings to combine sultriness and class in one. You can also rock it to your next romantic evening with ‘the one’.

What shoes should I wear with this dress?

We styled the look with GIANVITO ROSSI 55mm Suede Sandal Mules. These are made in Italy and featured with sharp pointed toes and broad bands at the top for a timeless look. The matching black colour keeps the ensemble high-class, complete with manageable kitten heels that allow you to walk with ease throughout the evening.

What bag should I wear with this dress?

We styled the look with CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Loubitwist Velvet Shoulder Bag. It showcases a pointy, structured design for a sleek look, topped with an easy zipper fastening that opens to reveal a single main compartment with two internal card slots. A detachable shoulder strap adds to the versatility.

What we don't love about this dress?

This dress has a bold style because of the open back, which may not appeal to those who prefer a modest style.
