Highlights

Designed by PoetDresses
Materials: Cotton

The Rhythm Dress in Noir: a black 100% cotton tea length dress with a 1950s fit-and-flare silhouette, tulle petticoat, boat neck, cap sleeves, and pockets.

This (not so little) black dress features a timeless design that is perfect for holiday parties and events. Inspired by the classic 1950s silhouette, it has a voluminous midi-length skirt supported by a tulle petticoat that’s impossible not to twirl in. There is truly nothing more flattering than a classic retro fit and flare.

Not only does the Rhythm Dress make you want to get up and move, it also has pockets to hold all your things while you hit the dance floor!
The elegant high neck, cap sleeves, and midi-length skirt offer a comfortable coverage alternative to the modern Little Black Dress.
100% cotton does not have much stretch, so if you are in between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Natural fabrics also tend to wrinkle in transit, so we recommend that you hang and steam after unboxing.

All Poet dresses come with a cardstock poem 🪶

This arrived just in time and I got a million compliments on the dress. It fit me perfectly as if it was made just for me. I would buy from them again in a heartbeat.

So many things to say about this shop and the dress! First off, the seller is so incredibly kind an helpful. I asked for help with sizing and send over my measurements and they were so helpful! They suggested I get the 2XL since I was measuring just outside measurements for the XL. When it turned out the 2XL was actually too big they were extremely helpful and prompt with the exchange process. I got my dress and the XL fits great! (For reference, I was measuring 44" bust 38" waist and the measurements for the XL are 43" and 36") The fabric of the dress is high quality thick cotton, (not itchy at all), the dress has two layers of tulle, and POCKETS! Im so happy I ordered from here. Definitely on my list of sellers to come back to in the future :) Tysm!
