Product Details

A masterclass in Parisian cool, the Eclipse reinvents the classic "Little Black Dress" into the ultimate black mini dress with structural edge. This noir version is all about mystery and visual tension. It’s more than just a standard v-neck dress. Dress to captivate, featuring a plunging deep v-neck that elegantly frames the décolletage.

The true focal point of this shell embellished dress is the sculptural gold accent that pops against the midnight fabric. From there, a layer of sheer black tulle extends into a dramatic side streamer, trailing behind you like a shadow to create fluid, captivating movement. Minimalist yet bold, this sleek v neck evening dress is for the woman who commands the room without saying a word.

To guarantee the perfect silhouette, enjoy complimentary custom sizing so your piece drapes flawlessly for your next event.

Deep V-neck with twisted bust
Sculptural gold shell dress accent at the center
Sheer black tulle streamer and train for a striking drape mini dress effect

FAQ

How do I choose the right size?

Our Pieces are crafted in European sizing (34–42). We recommend consulting our Size Chart for precise measurements before placing your order. If you fall between sizes or have a unique silhouette, our complimentary custom sizing service ensures a flawless fit — simply visit our Custom Sizing Request page to get started.

What does "One Size" mean for Aurorette pieces?

When a piece is listed as "One Size," it has been thoughtfully designed with a relaxed or adjustable silhouette that flatters a range of figures. However, if you have any concerns about fit, we warmly invite you to reach out — our complimentary custom sizing service is always available to tailor the piece to you.

All orders are carefully prepared within 2 business days. Estimated delivery times from dispatch are as follows:

International delivery timelines may vary slightly depending on customs processing in your country. You will receive a tracking number as soon as your order is on its way.

How does your complimentary custom sizing work?

We believe every woman deserves a garment that feels made for her — because it is. Simply visit our Custom Sizing Request page and share your measurements.

When in doubt, professional dry cleaning is always the safest choice.
