{"title":"Black Dresses","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack Dresses collects every black piece at Mini Max Stores in Brooklyn, New York, across mini, midi and maxi lengths — the colour a woman buys when she wants a dress that will not need replacing next season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack is a background, which is why the cut has to carry the interest. Here that means gingham and stripe prints in woven and knit fabrics, cut-outs and bow details on plain bodices, one shoulder and sweetheart necklines that shape an outfit without adding a colour. Belted shapes with contrast stitching handle daytime; velvet, satin and lace shapes handle everything after it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat black does better than any other colour is take direction from the rest of the outfit. The same dress reads as work with a flat and a coat, and as evening with a heel and one piece of jewellery. Nothing needs to match it, which is the practical argument for owning more than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRibbed knit pieces stretch and travel well; woven and satin pieces hold a line and want a hanger. Sizes run alpha and numeric, everything ships from our 5th Avenue store, and returns stay open for thirty days. For the piece that solves an evening without being thought about, Black Dresses is the shortest route.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"yara-dress-black","title":"Yara Dress - Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Yara is a black knitted midi dress cut close to the body, with the shoulders bare and the arms covered — a combination that reads calmer than it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is a stretch ribbed knit, so the dress holds its slim fit by stretching rather than by construction. The neckline runs straight across and sits off the shoulder, and the long sleeves continue from there. At the front, a split opens the hem and gives the legs somewhere to go. There is no lining; the ribbing sits against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBodycon in a knit is a different proposition from bodycon in a woven — it moves with you, and it forgives sitting down for a long dinner. Treat this midi dress as the easy end of dressing up: a boot in winter, a flat sandal in summer, and no necklace, because the straight neckline is already a clean line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mini Max Stores","offers":[{"title":"XS\/S","offer_id":52819527729464,"sku":"7021465108657-1","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S\/M","offer_id":52819527762232,"sku":"7021465108657-2","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M\/L","offer_id":52819527795000,"sku":"7021465108657-3","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L\/XL","offer_id":52819527827768,"sku":"7021465108657-4","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/1297\/9512\/files\/yara-dress--black-7a1725416f.webp?v=1787051317"},{"product_id":"mateo-long-sleeve-denim-dress-black","title":"Mateo Long Sleeve Denim Dress - Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eButtons that do not button, a belt that does: the Mateo is a black maxi dress that borrows a workwear look and quietly ignores its rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neckline is a sweetheart curve and the long sleeves finish in an elasticised cuff.
