Black high-low look with layered skirt

A detailed, sheer-looking bodice meets a visibly stepped skirt in this black look. The front ends above the knees, while longer layers fall behind it. Unequal lengths define the side silhouette, and visible sandals complement the open front. Assess the relationship between the bodice pattern and the skirt layers rather than treating them as unrelated details. The photograph does not confirm the exact fibre composition or lining.

Check the actual fit

Walk and turn without holding the skirt when trying a similar dress. Sit to see where the longer layers fall. Compare a simple bag with a more decorative one while keeping shoes and jewellery unchanged, making the effect of each addition easier to judge.

Use the image to compare visible shapes, then check comfort, alterations and product information on the real garment. A photograph does not replace a fitting.
