Eudora Floral Print Cowl Neck Backless Maxi Dress in Ochre

A cowl neck at the front and nothing at all at the back is a combination that knows exactly what it is doing. The cowl pools softly at the collarbone and keeps the front of this Eudora maxi relaxed and easy, and then you turn around and the dress becomes a completely different proposition. A tie fastens it, so you set how it sits.

The fabric is 95% Polyester with 5% Spandex and it is slightly stretchy. That small amount of spandex is what allows a cowl to drape properly instead of hanging flat, and it lets the backless cut follow the body rather than gaping away from it. The body is not lined. Length runs from 49.2 inches at S to 50.8 inches at 2XL, so this is a true maxi that falls to the floor on most people, with the ochre floral print running the full length of it.

Ochre is the reason to choose this one. It is a warm and slightly dusty yellow that flatters far more skin tones than a bright yellow ever manages, and a floral print laid over it reads as sun faded and expensive rather than loud. This is a wedding guest dress, a holiday dinner dress, and a very good dress to own for the weeks when it is too hot for anything with a back to it. Flat sandals and gold jewelry in the day. A heel and a small clutch at night. Skip the necklace and let the cowl be the neckline.
