black slip dress with lace Women's Lace-detail Satin The Heavenly Bodies Lace Slip Dress is a nod to vintage glam with a contemporary twist L'AGENCE Scotly Lace Trim Midi

The strapless design effortlessly draws out the sweetheart neckline and a ruched cowl bodice, bringing a touch of elegance with no extra embellishments and highlighting your curves in all the right places

Cut from velvet in a beautifully tailored silhouette, this elegant cocktail dress is fitted to the body and flared from the waist in a full skirt built constructed of tapered panels

Honestly, I wasnt sure if it would be too body-con fitted to feel comfortable in without Spanx or tights

Features a V neckline, sexy double slit front and crochet details

The pattern I ended up using was Gerties Patio Dress pattern, from her Gertie Sews Jiffy Dresses book
