Avoid overloading the outfit with too many accessories. 

Inappropriate color combinations

Be careful with color combinations that may be incompatible with black. Some tones can detract from the elegance of the whole.

Casual shoes

Avoid wearing overly casual footwear, such as flip-flops or sneakers, unless you are looking for a specifically sporty style.

Excessive makeup

Inappropriate fabrics

Choose the fabric of the dress well and avoid materials that wrinkle easily or that are not suitable for the occasion.
