Black Floral One Shoulder Maxi Dress

One shoulder covered, one bare, and a floral print running the length of a close fitting maxi dress.

The neckline is asymmetrical by design, so the line across the chest never sits level and the shape reads differently depending on which side you are seen from. A mesh overlay sits over the floral print, which softens the pattern rather than showing it flat. The fit is bodycon through the body. There is no zip to work around, since the dress pulls on, and it is lined.

An asymmetric neckline does the work that a necklace usually does, so leave the neck bare and put the interest in a single earring pair. Cocktail hour suits it: a dinner, a party, an evening where a print is more welcome than plain black. Wear the hair over the covered shoulder or up off the neck entirely, and keep the shoe simple so the maxi dress stays the whole outfit.
