Black Strapless Maxi Dress with Bow Back

A strapless black maxi dress cut with a straight neckline across the bust.

With no straps to hold it, the dress relies on an inner bust grip in rubber to stay where it is put, which is what lets the straight neckline stay straight all evening. At the back there is a decorative bow tie detail, so the view from behind is the one carrying the decoration. A side zip goes in invisibly and closes off with a hook and eye clasp. The dress is lined.

Strapless and floor length is a formal combination, and black keeps it from tipping into costume. Because the back is where the interest sits, wear your hair up or off to one side and let it be seen. A heel suits the length. Keep the jewellery near the ears and the bag small, and the black maxi dress handles a wedding, a gala or any evening with a stated dress code.
