Amici Strapless Black Maxi Dress, Bow Back

The Amici is the black dress that ends the search — strapless, floor-length, and finished with a bow where most dresses stop trying.

The straight neckline runs clean across the bust, held in place by an inner rubber grip so the strapless shape stays put through a full night of standing, dancing, and hugging people you have not seen in years. At the back, a decorative bow tie gives the exit as much presence as the entrance, and an invisible side zip with a hook and eye clasp keeps the closure out of the picture. The dress is lined throughout.

Maxi length makes it ceremony-ready; black makes it endlessly re-wearable. Silver jewellery cools it down, gold warms it up, and either way the bow at the back means you never really leave a room — you are announced out of it.
