Complete the look

The black dress, cut long. A V-neck, short-sleeved T-shirt dress in a smooth stretch knit, close through the body and falling to the calf, with a slit that lets you walk at full stride. Nothing on it: no logo, no print. Made for dinners that run late, in a doorway in Paris, Lisbon or Milan, or wherever the night goes next.

  • 92% viscose, 8% spandex at 260 gsm: a smooth, medium-weight knit with stretch
  • Fitted through the body, 50 in (127 cm) long in size S, with a slit at the hem
  • V-neck and short sleeves: easy in warm weather, and it layers under a coat when it is cold
  • Left entirely clean, without a mark of any kind
  • Sizes S to XL, every measurement published below, machine washable at 30°C

Why it is the one

A black dress earns its place by being right every time: the neckline sits flat, the knit keeps its line, and the length works with flat sandals, slingbacks or boots. We publish the fabric to the percent and each size's measurements so you can check the fit before you order. Read the After Dark story for how it looks after dark.
