SAU LEE Liora Velvet Mini Dress in Black | Strapless Pearl-Trimmed Plunge Velvet Mini Dress

The Liora Velvet Mini Dress by SAU LEE is the short version of the Lavinia Velvet Gown: a strapless mini in black velvet with a deep plunging sweetheart neckline, edged in hand-sewn pearls and crystals that scatter down into the V. The bodice is boned and seamed, with a sheer inset at the plunge to hold it in place, and the skirt flares gently from the waist to a short A-line hem. SAU LEE shows it with crystal fringe earrings and a center-parted low bun.

Why We Love It

• Black velvet with a deep sweetheart plunge, outlined in pearls and crystals
• A boned strapless bodice that holds the neckline where it's meant to sit
• A gentle A-line skirt, so it reads party rather than bodycon
• Holiday parties, rehearsal dinners, and New Year's Eve
• By SAU LEE, a New York label known for reimagining the cheongsam for the modern wardrobe

How to Style It

• With crystal fringe earrings and black sandals, as SAU LEE shows it
• Under the De La Vali Selene Fur Capelet in Black Mongolian Fur for a winter party
• With the AKNVAS Brigit Bag in chocolate and sheer black tights
• Prefer floor length? See the SAU LEE Lavinia Velvet Gown, the same neckline as a column gown
