This floor-length black evening gown is a structured yet elegant option for formal events. It offers a fitted silhouette with defined lines through the bodice and hips. The neckline is high with open cutout details, providing visual interest without excess skin exposure. Sheer tulle panels extend from the shoulders to the floor, giving the appearance of cape-like sleeves while still allowing ease of movement. The bodice is adorned with tonal beadwork that flows down in a sunburst pattern, drawing the eye inward and downward for a lengthening effect. A side slit adds some flexibility for walking and sitting. This style works well if you prefer waist definition and want structured support with a bit of drape. The design balances coverage with shape, making it suitable for a variety of formal settings.
