The Iris Off-Shoulder Cocktail Dress in Anthracite is a fitted knee-length cocktail dress in a controlled anthracite metallic finish, with a pleated off-shoulder neckline that drapes across the collarbone and a tiered sheer waist band set with small faceted dark crystals. It is the polished short dress for cocktail receptions, gallery openings, milestone dinners, and wedding-guest evenings, made for the woman who wants one dress that reads as feminine and deliberate at once.
Fabric
97% polyester and 3% elastane, with a polyester-elastane upper lining and a polyester lower lining. The fine-gauge polyester carries a controlled anthracite metallic finish that reads close to black in flat daylight and warms to a shimmer under candle and lamp. Small faceted dark crystals are hand-set across several horizontal sheer bands at the waist, which shape the natural waist without compressing it. Cut and constructed in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia. European atelier construction since 1990.
Fit
True to size, with a fitted, body-skimming silhouette through the bust, waist, and hip, finishing at a knee-length hem with soft diagonal ruching on one hip. The pleated off-shoulder neckline sits across the collarbone; the back has a row of small hand-finished buttons along a concealed placket, with a discreet vent at the hem. The tiered sheer crystal-set band contours the natural waist. Between sizes, choose the smaller for a closer bodice or the larger for more ease at the bust. See the Luna sizing guide for measurements. The length is 41” from the back of the neck to the hem on a size 2. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 2.
Styling
For cocktail receptions and gallery openings, pair with the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Black and crystal drop earrings for tonal continuity.
For wedding-guest evenings and rehearsal dinners, the Klara Structured Mini Handbag in a soft neutral keeps the focus on the crystal-set waist.
For the move from boardroom to evening, the Iris Short Tailored Coat in Deep Black layers tonally over the dress without breaking the line.
Hold one metal tone across the look. Silver or dark gunmetal jewelry, a single piece, finishes the silhouette.
The coat over it
This Iris cocktail dress reads close to black with a silver sheen, so a black coat keeps the outfit in one color. Our choice is the Black Wool Wrap Coat, Nicole at $825, 4 inches longer than the dress on a size 2. Together they come to $1,375. The Teal Floral Jacquard Light Coat, Emma ($880) brings pattern instead, with teal flowers woven into a metallic jacquard, and it ends at the knee.
