Back to the black dress challenge. The first are thee versions with a black lace topper over the black dress. These could also be ok for a funeral since some of the arm is covered by the topper.
The last photo shows the dress with a silk jacket. This was worn for an anniversary dinner.

Looks great - love the pearls with white pretty flats and metallic ones - so special! The patterned jacket is nice as well - very put together look!

Happy Anniversary! You look lovely. Your outfit has inspired me to find a black dress to wear with my lace topper.

Thank you, Rachylou. It has been fun finding ways to wear a plain black dress. Today it is casual with a faded blue denim vest and espadrilles, wet hair and leather “jewelry”.

Thank you ,Shevia. I hoped that the white pearls and shoes would add a more summery touch to the black.

Love the version with white shoes, white pearl bracelets and white/light glasses. So beautiful and elegant with your colouring, and also the most summery look.

Thank you, Bijou. I plan to add to this thread as I plan to wear the Planck dress to an outdoor luncheon tomorrow. You would look fabulous in a black dress with white accessories.

You look great in these dresses. Your light hair and the light pearls act as accents. And the delicacy of lace or mesh toppers works too.
