Black and Ivory Formal Evening Dress for Weddings and Holiday Nights

Lorena is a floor-length formal evening dress built on a striking idea: a sleek black base opened up by tall ivory godet panels that fan out as you walk. A fitted sweetheart bodice on thin spaghetti straps keeps the top clean and sculpted, while the skirt moves with soft, airy volume. Wear this black formal dress as a winter wedding guest dress, for black-tie galas, or for holiday parties where you want a polished look that still feels easy.

Care

Gentle cold hand wash or delicate machine cycle, wash with similar colors and hang or lay flat to dry. Iron on low if needed and always check the care label.

Size & Fit

The bodice sits close to the body through the bust and waist, while the skirt is roomy and flowing. Choose your usual size; if you are between sizes or prefer a little more ease through the bodice, size up.

Good to know

• Color: colors can look slightly different depending on lighting and your screen settings.
• Measurements: sizes are measured by hand, so small differences of 1–3 cm are possible.
• Creases from shipping: light creases from packaging fall out after a day on a hanger or with a little steam.
