Black and Cobalt Taffeta Ball Gown

The Black and Cobalt Taffeta Ball Gown is a demi-couture piece by Joseph Ejiro, available to pre-order.

Black at the top, a flood of cobalt below. This ball gown pairs a sleek, modern bodice with a skirt of vivid cobalt taffeta that spreads across the floor like a pool of colour. It is a show-stopping gown for galas, proms and black tie events.

The bodice is polished black mikado with a high neck, cut sleeveless and close to the body, with the back cut away for contrast. At the waist it releases into a vast cobalt blue taffeta skirt, gathered generously so it spreads across the floor in a pool of colour and trails into a train.

Fabric

The bodice is mikado, a dense, crisp fabric with a subtle sheen that holds structured shapes beautifully. The skirt is taffeta, a crisp, lustrous fabric that rustles softly and holds volume.

Care

Dry clean only. Mikado can water-mark and lose its crisp structure in water, so a specialist dry cleaner is the safest choice. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Press mikado on the reverse with a dry iron on a low setting and a pressing cloth. Avoid steam directly on the face. Store on a padded hanger in a breathable cotton garment bag, away from direct sunlight.

Size and fit

Available in US sizes 2 to 24. Please see the size chart on this page for body measurements before ordering.
