{"product_id":"black-mermaid-gown-embellished-illusion-neckline-lantern-sleeves","title":"Black Mermaid Gown with Embellished Illusion Neckline and Lantern Sleeves","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSculpted black elegance with an illusion neckline\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis black evening gown combines a closely shaped mermaid silhouette with an embellished illusion neckline and voluminous lantern sleeves. The contrast between the smooth-looking body, reflective sleeves and sheer upper chest gives the single black shade depth without introducing a separate colour. Its long, flared hem creates a striking finish for formal dinners, receptions and evening celebrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sheer panel spans the upper chest beneath a round, high neckline, with dark floral-shaped embellishments tracing the collar and curved edge of the bodice. Small reflective details catch the light around the neckline, giving the gown a focal point without the need for a statement necklace. The shaped front seams continue down through the torso, maintaining a clean, defined outline beneath the decorative upper section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLantern sleeves bring rounded volume from the gathered shoulders towards the forearms before finishing in long, fitted cuffs. Their lustrous-looking surface stands apart from the comparatively matte body of the dress, balancing the narrow waist and hips with a fuller shoulder line. The full-length sleeve design offers arm coverage while retaining the lighter visual effect of the illusion panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe skirt follows the hips and upper legs before opening into a generous mermaid flare, with a trailing hem visible in the photographs. At the back, a high neckline and centre-back zip keep the outline simple, allowing the shaped seams and sweeping lower skirt to remain the focus. Polyester and elastane, a slim fit and slight stretch are listed; exact fibre percentages are not provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStyle the gown with black or silver-toned heels and a compact clutch for a polished evening finish. Small drop earrings complement the embellished neckline, while an updo shows the collar and gathered shoulders clearly. Picture the reflective sleeve fabric catching the reception lights as you lift a glass, with the flared skirt settling into soft folds around your shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGown details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack shade with contrasting surface finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound, high neckline with a sheer illusion chest panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark floral-shaped neckline embellishments with reflective details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGathered shoulders and full-length lantern sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong fitted cuffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaped front seams and a closely fitted silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlared mermaid skirt with a trailing hem shown in the photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh back neckline and centre-back zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed materials: polyester and elastane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim fit with slight stretch listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable sizes: S, M, L and XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSize and fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease measure before you buy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original chart gives item measurements in centimetres and US size references, not Australian sizes.
