Margot Cowl Neck Satin Maxi Dress in Lemon

Lemon is a brave colour worn brilliantly, and the Margot gives it the shape it deserves — a satin-sheen maxi that drapes clean to the ankle.

The cowl neckline folds softly at the front, the signature of a dress that means evening without saying it loudly. Straps are non-adjustable and cut to sit flat, the back closes with an invisible zip, and the whole dress is lined in smooth polyester, which is what gives the satin finish its even, liquid fall. The elongated line flatters without effort.

This is a wedding-guest dress that will not meet another of itself at the venue. Metallic sandals and a slim clutch play up the sheen; a tan heel keeps it earthy. Wear it somewhere with golden-hour light and let the colour do exactly what you bought it to do.
