The Lola Fitted Dress in Black is a fitted knee-length dress in viscose, on a black ground with a rust and cream abstract print, with a V-neckline, a ruched body, a tailored waist, and short sheer sleeves. It is the cornerstone of the Lola family, for the woman whose day starts in a boardroom and ends at a dinner, with no time to change in between.
Fabric
Viscose with a structured weave, sourced from a European mill. The fabric holds the fitted line through long seated hours without compressing, and the silk content gives a soft hand against the skin. The black ground and the print photograph cleanly under fluorescent office light, restaurant light, and outdoor evening light. Designed and made in Europe by Luna Fashion House. European atelier construction since 1990.
Fit
True to size, with a fitted line through the bodice, natural waist, and hip, and ruching that follows the body. Short sheer sleeves fit true to arm measurement. The knee length finishes at the knee on most heights. The V-neckline sits cleanly across the collarbone. Between sizes, choose the smaller for a closer line or the larger for more ease through the body. Measurements are in the Luna sizing guide. The model is 5 foot 9 inches and wears size 2. The length is 39” from the back of the neck to the hem on a size 2.
Styling
For an executive day, layer the Agatha Pearl Detail Blazer in Ivory over the dress for tonal contrast at the arrival.
For client dinners and anniversary evenings, switch to the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Black and satin heels.
For board meetings and conferences, the Natasha Tailored Blazer in Sand Beige layers cleanly for a warm-neutral pairing.
For cocktail evenings where the dress carries the look, the Julia Evening Clutch Bag in Yellow adds a single color note.
For travel days, wear it under the Clara Wool Trench Coat in Navy Blue.
Silver and gold both work against black; hold one metal across earrings, bracelet, and clutch hardware.
Care
Machine washable on a gentle cycle. Air dry. Steam or iron on low if needed. Spot clean gently with cold water. Do not bleach. Store on a broad padded hanger so the fitted line keeps its shape.

The coat over it
The Lola fitted dress is printed with large rust and cream leaves on a black ground, so a quiet coat suits it. We would choose the Gray Herringbone Wool Wrap Coat, Nicole at $825, which reaches mid calf, well past the dress. The Red Wool Coat with Faux-Fur Collar, Selina ($825) takes the rust of the print one step brighter and ends at the knee or a little below.

Every piece is designed and handmade in our own European atelier in a small, limited run, so what you wear was made with attention rather than in volume. We have made occasion wear this way since 1990, and eligible items can be returned within 14 days of delivery.
The coat to wear with it, and what to add
We list the coat first. We chose it by where this hem falls.
