Archean Skater Dress in Black

The most versatile little black dress, now with added twirl. The Archean Skater Dress in Black has that classic fit-and-flare shape that just works. Princess seams frame the bust, the waist seam nips you in to create a gorgeous hourglass silhouette, then the skirt kicks out into a full skater shape made for movement. Sitting on or just above the knee, it has a simple scoop neck and flat side pockets for all your essentials, because a perfect little black dress should absolutely have pockets.

Made from our Archean textured viscose ponte jersey, it has masses of stretch to hug your curves without ever feeling restrictive, with enough weight and structure to make that full skirt swish and twirl without flying up at the first gust of wind. Wear it on its own for the classic little black dress look, layer one of our new shirts underneath for instant preppy polish, or add a tee, tights, boots, heels, trainers or loafers. This is the dress you can keep reinventing every time you wear it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Skater Dress?

A skater dress is a fit-and-flare style, a fitted bodice and waist seam that flares out into a fuller skirt, similar to the shape a figure skater's dress moves in. Snag's Archean Skater Dress follows that shape with princess seams through the bust, a defined waist and a skirt cut to swish rather than cling. It sits on or just above the knee.

Does a skater dress work for different body shapes?

The waist seam and flared skirt do most of the work, since the fit is defined at the waist before the skirt has room to move, rather than relying on one straight cut all the way down. Snag's Archean Skater Dress comes in sizes 4 to 38, with every size cut to its own pattern rather than one design scaled up or down. That means the waist seam sits in the right place whatever size you're wearing.

Will a skater dress fly up or ride up when you move?

A well-made skater skirt has enough weight in the fabric to swish and twirl without flying up in a gust of wind. Snag's Archean Skater Dress is cut from a textured viscose ponte jersey with real substance to it, so the skirt keeps its shape through walking, sitting or dancing. It's fully opaque too, so there's nothing to worry about underneath.

What do you wear with a skater dress?

Wear it on its own for a classic look, or layer it under one of Snag's woven shirts for a preppy feel with the collar and cuffs showing. Add tights and boots for colder weather, or go bare legged with trainers or loafers for something more casual. The side pockets mean you can go hands-free too, no bag needed for the essentials.

Does the skater dress have pockets?

Yes, our Archean Skater Dress has flat side pockets built into the seams, so you can carry your phone, keys or cards without needing a bag. A proper little black dress should be useful as well as easy to wear. The pockets sit flat rather than bulking out the skirt.
