The piece: model 203292 by Numoco
Numoco is a Polish occasion-wear label, and the supplier calls this a Polish product. It files the dress under cocktail dresses and describes it as an elegant black dress with a longer back, made of stretchy material that follows the silhouette and leaves you free to move.
The supplier also says the asymmetrical skirt adds lightness, especially when dancing. The three photos we have agree: the model holds the skirt out and you see how much fabric there is in it.
Who it's for
For you if you can't decide between a short and a long dress. This one shows your knees from the front and trails like a longer dress from behind.
It suits you if you want bare arms and a covered chest. The neckline is high and the armholes are cut like a tank top.
Closer look: what the photos and the maker's data show
- Longer back and asymmetrical skirt (maker's data); front above the knee, back to the calf on the model (photos)
- Sleeveless with a round neckline (photos)
- Fitted bodice with vertical seams (photos)
- Covered zip at the back (maker's data)
- Stretchy material (maker's data)
We have no photo of the back, and the maker's data does not say whether the dress is lined.
Fabric and feel: stretch with 10% spandex
The composition is 90% polyester and 10% spandex. Ten percent is a lot of stretch, and it is why a fitted bodice like this one stays comfortable through a long evening.
In the photos the fabric is matte and smooth and has weight. The skirt hangs in deep, regular folds and holds a clean edge at the hem.
Fit and silhouette: fitted top, full skirt, and a gap in the table
The bodice follows the body and the skirt flares out, so chest and waist decide the size. Here we have to be open about the maker's table. It has columns for length, chest and waist, but gives only two numbers per size: 84 and 76 cm for S, up to 106 and 100 cm for XL.
Those numbers cannot be lengths. They fit chest and waist, so that is how we show them below. The length is missing. On the model the front ends above the knee. If you need the exact figures, ask us before you order and we will check with the supplier.
Size chart (cm)
| Size | Chest | Waist |
|---|---|---|
| S | 84 | 76 |
| M | 90 | 84 |
| L | 98 | 90 |
| XL | 106 | 100 |
Source: the maker's size table, which lists three columns (length, chest, waist) but only two numbers per size. The numbers fit chest and waist, so we show them that way; the length is missing. Check with us if you need certainty.
Styling: show the shoes
A hem that rises at the front puts your shoes on display. In the photos the model wears clear heeled sandals and a short necklace with a small pendant. Both leave the dress in charge.
You could also go the other way and choose a strong shoe: red pumps, metallic sandals, ankle boots with a heel. Because the top is so plain, a statement earring or a wide cuff bracelet has room to work.
Occasions
The supplier suggests special occasions and mentions dancing. We would say: a wedding party, a company gala, New Year's Eve, a milestone birthday. It is black and simple enough to wear several times a year with different shoes.
Care: follow the label
The maker's data we receive has no care instructions, so please go by the label sewn into the dress. We would rather tell you that than guess.
One general habit for dresses with a long back hem: hang them high enough that the back does not touch the bottom of the wardrobe.
The wow detail: the line of the hem
Seen from the side, the hem draws one long diagonal from above the knee to the calf. That line is the whole design. Standing still, it makes a plain black dress look like it is already in motion. Walking, the back follows a half step behind you. The supplier is right that it comes alive when you dance.
Fashion that gives back
