Caprice Long Sleeve Midi Dress - Black

There is nothing plain about a plain black dress when it is built like the Caprice. Long sleeves, midi length, and rather more going on than the colour lets on at first glance. The neckline is a v overlay, one panel crossing the other rather than a simple cut. Sleeves run full length and gather into elasticised cuffs at the wrist. Cut-outs sit at each side, and the skirt is worked in tiered frills over a pleated feature, so the shape moves in sections rather than in one piece. An invisible zip closes the back, and the dress is lined. All that detail means everything else should stand down. A bare neck, a small earring, one shoe you can walk in. The side cut-outs make it a dress for standing and moving rather than for a long formal sit, and the sleeves take it happily into a cold evening. Bridesmaid duty, and any winter party that asks for black.
