Lemon Satin Cowl Neck Maxi Dress

A lemon maxi dress with a cowl neckline, cut to drape down to the ankle.

The satin sheen finish is what makes the cowl work: the fabric has to fall in soft folds at the neck, and a flat surface would just hang. Straps hold the dress at the shoulder and they are not adjustable, so the neckline sits at one fixed depth. An invisible zip closes the back. The dress is lined and made in 100% polyester.

A pale yellow at full length is a daylight colour, and it suits an event where the dress code is stated but the room is not dark. The cowl keeps the front interesting without any trim, so a bare neck or a very fine chain is enough. A heel matches the drop of the length, and a small bag in something neutral keeps the lemon maxi dress as the only colour in the outfit.
