Solace London Black Dresses and Gowns: Columns, Corsets and Capes

Black is the colour Solace London makes most. Of the 344 Solace London styles in stock at Coveti on 27 October 2026, 108 come in black, far more than any other colour, and they run from $830 to $2,530. A black Solace London dress is the house look at its plainest: one strong line, a sculpted bodice and nothing printed on it.

Every piece is cut in UK sizes 4 to 16, so you can shop the full Solace London edit at Coveti with the Solace London size guide open beside it. For the new season as a whole, see our Solace London Resort 2027 guide.

The Solace London black shades

Black suits this label because the design sits in the cut. A boned strapless bodice, a single long sleeve split to the elbow, a cowl that falls at the back: in black those details read as shape, not decoration, and the dress photographs as a silhouette. It is also the colour that crosses the most dress codes. The same black column works for black tie, a winter wedding, an awards dinner and a funeral reception, which is why it is the one most people buy first.

The shades in stock at Coveti, with the number of styles in each: black (107), black and jet (1).

How to wear Solace London in black

For black tie, choose floor length and keep the shoulders bare: the Dandridge and Andress strapless styles do that with a corseted bodice. For a wedding, black is now accepted by most hosts in the UK and the US, but check the invitation and add colour through jewellery and a bag. For a party, the crystal styles carry their own decoration, so wear them with plain sandals and small earrings. Satin pieces reflect light and look warmer at night; matte crepe looks sharper in daylight photographs.

Black also hides the practical things a long evening throws at a dress: a dropped drink, a creased lap after a seated dinner. Pair it with a tailored coat in winter and a light wrap in summer. Our guide to how to style Solace London covers shoes, bags and cover ups in more detail.

Sizing

Solace London cuts close, and the colour does not change the fit. On boned, low-stretch styles the brand suggests your usual UK size, going up one if you fall between two; on stretch knit crepe styles it suggests going down one for a closer fit. Models on the product pages stand between 177 and 182 cm and wear a UK 6, so most floor-length styles need heels and a hem. The Solace London size guide has the full body chart.
