Description

The May Beaded Waist Fitted Dress in Black is a knee length V-neck dress in a black fabric woven with metallic fibers, made for holiday parties, cocktail evenings, and winter weddings. A bar of black faceted crystals and fine metal chain sits on a tucked band at the waist, and the sleeves end just below the elbow.

Fabric
84% viscose, 10% metallic fibers, 6% elastane. Upper lining: 100% viscose. In the photos the metallic fibers show as a fine, even sparkle across the black, and rows of narrow tucks run around the neckline and down the center of the bodice. The dress is made in the Luna atelier in Serbia.

Fit
The line stays close through the bodice and hip. A zipper closes the back, and a short vent opens at the center back hem. On the model the hem falls just above the knee. The 6% elastane gives a little ease, but the cut is close, so take the larger size if you are between sizes. The Luna sizing guide lists the body measurements. The model wears size 2.

Styling
At an office holiday party, carry the Red Floral Clutch Bag, Regina and let its red and green print be the only color you wear.
For a client dinner, add the Black Peplum Jacket, Lora, which has the same composition and its own beaded band at the waist.
For a winter wedding or a black tie optional evening, arrive in the Black Wool Coat with Faux Fur Collar, Lucy. Then carry the Black Evening Clutch, Leni, which has a soft faux feather flower on its front.

Care
Wash at 30 C (86 F) maximum. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Iron on low heat. Professional dry cleaning is suitable.

Can I wear the May dress to a winter wedding as a guest?
Yes, it suits a cocktail or black tie optional wedding in winter. The sleeves and the knee length suit the ceremony, and the beaded bar looks right at the reception. If the invitation says black tie without the word optional, choose a floor length gown.
Is the black May dress right for an office holiday party?
Yes, the V-neck is modest and the sleeves reach below the elbow, so it is appropriate for a party with colleagues. The sparkle is fine and even, with no sequins on the fabric.
How does the May dress fit, and which size should I choose?
It fits close through the waist and hip, and the 6% elastane gives a little ease. If you fall between sizes, order up. The model in our photos wears size 2, and the hem falls just above her knee.
What is the May dress made of, and is it lined or see through?
The fabric is 84% viscose, 10% metallic fibers, and 6% elastane. The lining is 100% viscose and covers the upper part of the dress. The fabric looks opaque in our photos.
What coat or jacket goes over the May dress?
For cold evenings, the Lucy black wool coat with its faux fur collar covers the dress for the trip there. Indoors, the Lora black peplum jacket has the same composition and a beaded band of its own.
How do I clean the May dress?
Wash it at 30 C (86 F) maximum, or take it to a professional dry cleaner. Do not bleach it or put it in the tumble dryer. Iron on low heat.
