Black Tiered Tulle Ballgown Dress

Not every dress asks for attention. This one commands it.

Fitted matte jersey top meets a floor-length tiered tulle skirt — the contrast is the whole point. Sleeveless, crew neck, clean bodice that stays close to the body while the skirt takes up the room. Two layers of ruffled tulle at the waist before it opens into a full sweeping floor-length skirt with a sheer finish. The kind of dress that looks like it belongs on a staircase.

It does.

• Fitted jersey bodice, crew neck, sleeveless
• Tiered ruffle waist detail
• Full floor-length tulle skirt
• Sheer tulle with subtle lace underlayer
• All black
• Full back length

Wear it to the gala. Wear it to make a point. Either works.
