This silhouette is all about the contrast between the high front opening and the long back. 🖤 The black dress curves up at the centre front, leaving your chosen shorts or leggings visible beneath the fitted upper section.Long sleeves have cutouts at the elbows, adding a small break in the otherwise plain black shape. A high neckline keeps the upper half clean, while the extended back creates a trailing line behind the legs.Treat it as a layering dress when building a gothic outfit: fitted bottoms show the curved front clearly, and boots work well with the long back hem. Choose it from our witchy and gothic dresses when you want a dramatic shape without an all-over print.Layer it over Halloween Collage Print Leggings for a bright spooky contrast beneath the black hem.Arcane Trail Style Note: Choose the bottoms first, since the high front opening is part of the look, and leave the back untucked so its full length can fall freely.Product Details ☾ Black high-low layering dress ☾ High neckline and long sleeves ☾ Open cutout detail at each elbow ☾ High curved front opening with a long back hem ☾ Dress only; pictured shorts, boots and accessories are separate ☾ Sizes S, M, L and XL Compare the bust, shoulder and sleeve measurements.
