Black Plunge Gown with Crystal Waist and Rope Fringe Skirt

The Black Plunge Gown with Crystal Waist and Rope Fringe Skirt is a demi-couture piece by Joseph Ejiro, available to pre-order.

This is a gown that dances. The fitted bodice and crystal waist hold everything in place, and then the skirt of cotton rope takes over, swinging and swaying with every step. It is made for performances, parties and red carpets where movement is the whole point.

A deep V neckline plunges to the waist, finished at the centre with a line of gold disc detailing. The fitted spacer fabric bodice is cinched by a wide band of crystal embellishment. From there, the skirt breaks into long strands of black cotton rope that fall to the floor and part at a high slit, so the dress moves and sways with every step. The back is cut low, with crystal detailing continuing around the waist.

Fabric

The bodice is 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 skirt is made from cotton rope.

Care

Hand wash cold (max 30°C / 86°F), inside out, with a mild detergent for delicates. Do not soak for more than a few minutes. Do not wring or twist. Press out water by rolling the piece in a clean towel. Dry flat in the shade, reshaping while damp. Professional dry cleaning is also suitable. Avoid rubbing over crystals, beading and hardware; spot clean around them gently if needed. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Spacer fabric rarely needs ironing. If needed, steam lightly or press on a low setting from the inside. Let the cotton rope fringe hang freely when stored so the cords stay straight. Store on a padded hanger in a breathable cotton garment bag, away from direct sunlight.
