Shona Joy | Agnes Ruffle Slip Bias Maxi Dress - Black
Shona Joy Agnes Ruffle Slip Bias Maxi Dress in Black.
The fabric is LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose — a sustainably sourced fibre that moves with the same liquid ease as conventional viscose, but with a matte finish satin quality that sits apart from the usual slip-dress aesthetic. There's a subtle luxurious sheen here, refined rather than reflective, with a smooth soft drape that flows cleanly over the body. The black is a true, deep black — the kind that photographs perfectly and holds its depth through an entire evening.
The design is built around contrast: the body is slim and clean-lined — a maxi-length skirt that skims beautifully, lightweight and non-stretchy — while the neckline and shoulder work in a more dramatic register. A V-neck cutout with ruffle trim draws the eye at the front, while an asymmetrical ruffle detail on one shoulder adds dimension and movement at the top of the dress. The back is cut open and low, letting the structural simplicity of the silhouette below speak clearly while the upper half remains the focal point.
Style Advise: Wear with minimal jewellery — the cutout neckline and the ruffle shoulder are already making a statement. A delicate chain necklace tucked behind the cutout, strappy heeled mules, and a small evening bag is all this dress needs. The matte satin finish photographs exceptionally well and the open back makes it a genuine occasion piece.
Fit Advise: Zali wears an AU6/US2. Height: 178cm (5'10"). Bust: 78cm, Waist: 63cm, Hips: 92cm. Slim fit, designed to skim the body beautifully. No stretch in the fabric — size up if between sizes.
