1970s Black Maxi Dress with Sheer Sleeves

Elegant, flowing and full of quiet drama. This black maxi brings together a shaped, fitted bodice, high neckline and long sheer sleeves that soften its sweeping silhouette.

Wide cuffs with popper fastenings finish the sleeves beautifully. Wear it for candlelit evenings, celebrations or simply because a wonderful dress deserves to be worn.
