Elaine Black Backless Halterneck Mini Dress

The Elaine deals exclusively in evening: a black mini with a deep V, a halterneck tie, and a backless drop that saves its best angle for the way out.

The halterneck ties at the front side, framing shoulders while the deep V neckline sharpens the front. Behind, the backless design opens the whole line of the back, with an elasticised waistband keeping the fit anchored and an invisible zip with hook and eye clasp finishing the closure. Pleated detail moves through the fabric, and the dress is lined.

This is a cocktail dress in the strict sense — built for dim lighting, good speakers, and a drink that comes in a stemmed glass. Heels, a slim clutch, and hair up to leave the back uninterrupted. Every wardrobe needs one dress with no daytime alibi; the Elaine is it.
