Description
The Iris Off-Shoulder Cocktail Dress in Black is a fitted knee-length cocktail dress in a controlled black metallic finish, with a pleated off-shoulder neckline that drapes across the collarbone and a tiered sheer waist band set with small faceted dark crystals. It is the polished short dress for cocktail receptions, executive dinners, post-keynote evenings, and milestone celebrations, made for the woman who wants one dress that reads as feminine and authoritative at once.
Fabric
97% polyester and 3% elastane, with a polyester-elastane upper lining and a polyester lower lining. The fine-gauge polyester carries a controlled black metallic finish that holds its depth in any light, reading deeper and more uniform than the Iris in anthracite while keeping a quiet sheen across the surface. Small faceted dark crystals are hand-set across several horizontal sheer bands at the waist, which shape the natural waist without compressing it. Cut and constructed in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia. European atelier construction since 1990.
Fit
True to size, with a fitted, body-skimming silhouette through the bust, waist, and hip, finishing at a knee-length hem with soft diagonal ruching on one hip. The pleated off-shoulder neckline sits across the collarbone; the back has a row of small hand-finished buttons along a concealed placket, with a discreet vent at the hem. The tiered sheer crystal-set band contours the natural waist. Between sizes, choose the smaller for a closer bodice or the larger for more ease at the bust. See the Luna sizing guide for measurements. The length is 41” from the back of the neck to the hem on a size 2. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 2.
Styling
For executive cocktail receptions and keynote evenings, pair with the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Black and crystal or pearl drop earrings for tonal continuity.
For milestone birthdays and charity evenings, the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Bordeaux adds one deep tone against the black.
For rehearsal dinners and conference receptions, the Klara Structured Mini Handbag in a soft neutral keeps the focus on the crystal-set waist.
For the move from boardroom to evening, the Iris Short Tailored Coat in Deep Black layers tonally over the dress without breaking the line.
Hold one metal tone across the look. Silver or dark gunmetal jewelry, a single piece, finishes the silhouette.
The coat over it
Over the black Iris cocktail dress we would put the Black Wool Wrap Coat, Nicole, in black wool with a silver buckle on the belt. In our measurements the coat hem falls 4 inches below the dress, and the coat costs $825. For daytime, the Beige Jacquard Trench Coat, Rea ($770) is the cream option, and its hem meets the dress at the knee.
