Beryl Black Floral Embroidered Maxi Dress

Black, floor-length and worked with textured floral embroidery, the Beryl Maxi Dress makes a statement coming and going — literally, since the back is where its boldest idea lives.

The sweetheart neckline sits on wide shoulder straps, framing the collarbone in a soft curve. Behind, a back cutout with a tie-close feature opens the silhouette with a surprising twist, closing on your terms. An invisible side zip with a hook and eye clasp keeps the profile seamless, the skirt falls in an a-line style to maxi length, and the whole dress is lined. The embroidery raises the florals off the surface, adding texture you can see across a room.

Weddings and garden parties are the Beryl's stated purpose, and it delivers — but it is equally right at evening events where black is expected and boring is not. Hair up, earrings on, back to the door: exit accordingly.
