Cerisette Sequin Midi Dress for Nights Out, Deep V-Neck

Cerisette runs black sequins through with gold, so the finish shifts depending on how the light hits it rather than reading as one flat colour. The neckline drops into a deep V and the sleeves run long, which is an unusual pairing on a party dress and a useful one: plenty of drama at the front, full coverage on the arms, nothing to keep adjusting through the evening.

This is a dress for the nights that matter. A New Year party, a black-tie-adjacent dinner, an anniversary, a birthday where you want photographs to be worth keeping. The black-gold combination works with both metals, so jewellery is not a constraint. A pointed heel and a small clutch finish it, and because the sleeves are long you can skip a jacket indoors entirely.

Sizes run S through XL with a close fit through the body. The deep V means the bust measurement is the one that determines how the neckline sits on you, so it is worth checking properly rather than going by your usual label size. The chart below gives approximate body measurements. Take the larger size if you are between two.

• Silhouette: close-fitting midi length
• Neckline: deep V-neck
• Sleeve: long sleeve
• Embellishment: black and gold sequins
• Colourways: Black Gold
• Sizes: S, M, L, XL
• Care: hand wash inside out in cold water or dry clean, lay flat to dry, never iron the sequins

Measurements are approximate body measurements in inches. Size up if you prefer a looser fit.
