black knitted dress Long Sleeve Noir Knit – Monique Lhuillier exuding sophistication and style Long Sleeve Zip Front Contour

The scoop neck bodice includes gorgeous flutter sleeves, and tie ribbons which allow you to adjust the silhouette as needed

However, there are some modern styles and variations that are becoming more popular for black tie affairs, as well as different ways to make this traditional look your own

CD Greene pieces are incredibly hard to come by, as they are incredibly costly, and only sold through the designer himself, and at Bergdorf Goodman's in NYC

Made from stretch knit, this midi dress features dainty pleats to accentuate the fitted waist

A sweetheart neckline, fluttery short sleeves, and a dreamy flowing skirt bring that signature Ivy charm romantic, feminine, and a little bit enchanted
