Elise | Lace Sleeve Asymmetric Neck Dress
Elise | Lace Sleeve Asymmetric Neck Dress
Little Black Dress with Lace Sleeves and an Asymmetric Neckline
Meet Elise, a little black dress that keeps things simple and adds just enough detail to stand out. A folded panel sweeps diagonally across the bodice to form an asymmetric neckline, while short sheer lace sleeves finish in a pretty scalloped edge. It is an easy black dress for women that moves from desk to dinner, and it suits spring racing days, cocktail evenings and Christmas parties.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Smooth, matte woven body with semi-sheer floral lace on the sleeves.
- Cut/Fit: Straight, gently shaped silhouette with soft darts at the waist that skims the body without clinging.
- Neckline: Asymmetric neckline with a folded overlay panel that crosses the bodice on the diagonal.
- Sleeves: Short sheer lace sleeves with a scalloped, cut-out edge.
- Length: Short dress that falls to around the knee.
- Style: Classic little black dress with a modern, sculpted neckline.
Styling Tips
- For the races, add strappy heels, a woven clutch and a statement headpiece.
- Throw a tailored blazer over the top and slip on pointed flats for a polished office look.
- For Christmas drinks, layer gold jewellery and a metallic clutch, then switch to ankle boots once the evening cools.
Care
Gentle cold wash or hand wash, turned inside out to protect the lace. Hang or dry flat out of direct sun and cool iron on the reverse if needed; always check the care label.
Size & Fit
Elise has a straight cut with light waist shaping, so it sits close through the bodice and falls easily over the hips. Choose your usual size for a neat fit, or size up if you prefer a more relaxed feel.
