The Attico black dresses: the 12 to buy, from the fringe mini to the Karen gown

Black is The Attico’s colour. 16 of the 48 dresses in stock at Luxury Handbags are black, from $1,040 to $4,710, and they span every finish the brand makes: fringe, feathers, lace, tulle, corset seams, cady, gabardine, wool cashmere and sheer jersey. A black Attico mini is the piece most customers buy first and the one the brand never marks down in the sizes people wear. Gemma Deeks ranked the twelve, from the party dress to the plain cady mini.

Which black dress for which night

A birthday dinner: the fringe mini. A wedding: the corset-seamed midi. A winter restaurant: the wool and lace mini. A gala: the strapless feather mini and the Karen. The office and the drinks after: the cady mini and the stretch gabardine midi. If the dress is for a holiday, the black is not the colour to buy; the prints guide and the red guide are the pages for that, and the overall ranking weighs black against colour.

Fit and care

The fringe, jersey and knit pieces stretch and take your usual size; the cady, lace and tulle pieces do not. Fringe and feathers are dry-clean only and travel best rolled, not folded. The size guide covers the Italian conversions; each product page at Luxury Handbags carries the brand’s fit note.
