Grace Dress

Grace Dress | Black Knit Maxi Dress with Ladder Stitch Detail | Long Sleeve

The Grace Dress is the black knit maxi dress that makes a room stop — a body-conscious, long sleeve fitted knit maxi in deep black with two horizontal ladder stitch openwork panels and a dramatically ribbed lower skirt that creates one of the most architecturally sophisticated dress silhouettes in the All About Ava range.

The ladder stitch panels are the design detail that sets the Grace apart from every other black dress in your wardrobe. Two distinct horizontal bands of openwork ladder stitch knitting sit at the natural waist and again at the upper thigh — each panel creating a semi-transparent strip of intricate knit texture that is both structurally interesting and subtly sensual without being revealing. The effect is architectural and deliberate — drawing the eye horizontally at the waist to create the illusion of definition, then again at the thigh to break the skirt into distinct zones that give the entire dress a visual complexity that most knitwear simply cannot achieve.

The deep scoop V-neckline is finished with clean binding — elegant, precise, and sitting open enough to be flattering without being low. Long fitted sleeves run smoothly from shoulder to wrist, ribbed and body-skimming throughout. The bodice is close and figure-following — the stretch knit construction hugging the body with comfortable precision. Below the lower ladder stitch panel the skirt opens into a deeply ribbed column that gently widens at the hem into a soft fishtail finish — the ribbing creating vertical lines that elongate the silhouette and add further textural interest to the lower half of the dress.

Crafted from a luxurious blend of rayon, nylon, and PBT — a technical fibre that provides shape recovery and lasting stretch — the Grace is as comfortable to wear as it is extraordinary to look at. Style with strappy heeled sandals and delicate gold jewellery for a dinner, event, or special occasion. Swap to ankle boots and a leather jacket for an elevated evening casual look. The Grace is the black dress that replaces every other black dress you own.
