An oversized silhouette lends Balenciaga’s black V-neck dress alternative appeal. It’s crafted in Italy from lightweight silk-satin to a loose fit, with a ruffle-trimmed neckline and cuffs, a dropped drawstring waist, and a gathered dip hem. Note the cut-out detail at the back beneath the button fastening. For a directional finish, accessorise with a vibrant bag and elevate on a pair of the house’s coveted knife pumps.
