Black Sheath Dress with Cobalt V-Back

The Black Sheath Dress with Cobalt V-Back is a demi-couture piece by Joseph Ejiro, available to pre-order.

The perfect black dress, until she turns. This sheath is simple, polished and endlessly wearable from the front, and then a deep V opens at the back to show a sharp cobalt lining. It is a versatile little black dress for work events, dinners and cocktail parties.

From the front it is the classic little black dress: high neck, sleeveless, fitted through the body and cut just above the knee. At the back, a deep V opens from the shoulders toward the waist, edged in a sharp cobalt blue lining that turns outward like a lapel.

Fabric

The dress 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.

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. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Spacer fabric rarely needs ironing. If needed, steam lightly or press on a low setting from the inside. 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.
