Black Long-Sleeve Gown with Cobalt Back Bow

The Black Long-Sleeve Gown with Cobalt Back Bow is a demi-couture piece by Joseph Ejiro, available to pre-order.

Composed as she walks in, unforgettable as she walks away. This long-sleeve black gown keeps its secret for the back, where an oversized cobalt bow opens the bodice and streams into a train. It is a dramatic choice for red carpets, galas and evening weddings.

From the front, a black boat neck, long fitted sleeves and a single jeweled brooch keep the gown modest and composed. The body is fitted through the hips and flares softly at the hem. At the back, an oversized cobalt mikado bow sits between the shoulder blades, opening the bodice and streaming down into a long train.

Fabric

The gown is cut in spacer fabric, a three-dimensional knit with a cushioned, sculptural body that holds shape without heavy interfacing and feels light and comfortable on the skin. The bow and lining are mikado, a dense, crisp fabric with a subtle sheen that holds structured shapes beautifully.

Care

Dry clean only. Mikado can water-mark and lose its crisp structure in water, so a specialist dry cleaner is the safest choice. Avoid rubbing over crystals, beading and hardware; spot clean around them gently if needed. 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.
