black funeral dress The Lace Dress, S a high neck collar à la a heroine from a penny dreadful novella Black Formal Dresses For Funerals

Choose refined jewelry over heavy sparkle, a block or kitten heel rather than a tall stiletto, and a soft natural makeup look

The fitted shape keeps the dress sleek and defined, while the softer lace edging adds just enough contrast to make the whole design feel more elevated than a plain black mini

The subtle cut-out adds just a hint of flirtiness, while those puff sleeves bring the drama (in the best way possible)

I am wearing the size Small, before I forget

And maybe even a city inspired photo backdrop to capture those festive Big Apple feels

You never know what you're going to get online but this dress is amazing
