Slit Cowl Neck Maxi Dress

A cowl neck is a quiet kind of glamour. The fabric pools softly at the chest rather than cutting a hard line, and it moves as you do. Turn around and the dress has a second act, an open back finished with a lace up detail that keeps everything held exactly where you want it.

It is made from 100% polyester with no stretch, and importantly it is lined, which is not a given at this end of the market and makes a real difference to how the fabric sits and how confident you feel in it. A slit up the leg breaks the long line and lets you actually walk. The length runs from 54.7 in on a size S to 56.5 in on an XL, so it falls at or near the floor on most heights. Four colours span light green, wine red, green and black across sizes S to XL.

This one is built for evenings that matter. A wedding, a formal dinner, a party where you want to be remembered without saying much. Skip the necklace entirely, because the cowl and the open back are the design, and let earrings do the talking. A heel suits the length and works with the slit, and a clutch keeps the whole line clean. A wrap is a better companion than a jacket if the night cools, since it can be dropped the moment you want the back on show again.
