Lilac Open Back V Neck Midi Dress

A lilac midi dress with a V neckline at the front and an open V at the back.

The same shape is cut twice, once in each direction, so the dress opens to a point at the chest and again between the shoulder blades. Straps hold it at the shoulder and do not adjust, which fixes both Vs at one depth. A side zip closes invisibly, keeping the two clean lines uninterrupted, and the interior is lined.

An open back is the whole reason to wear this, so the hair belongs up and a jacket belongs off once you are inside. Cocktail hour suits it: a dinner with a dress code, a party, an evening where the room is warm enough to go without a layer. Keep the neck bare, let earrings do the work, and choose a heel that matches the drop of the lilac midi dress.
