White Strapless Satin Maxi Dress

White, strapless and floor length, with a straight neckline and a satin sheen finish carrying the light.

A pleat feature gathers the fabric at the bust and an inner bust grip in rubber keeps the top edge where it belongs, while a shirred panel across the back lets the fit give without loosening. The satin finish is the reason a plain white dress has any depth to it at all. A split at the front opens the skirt, and an invisible zip closes the back. The dress is lined.

White at full length is a formal choice and a deliberate one, so it belongs at a gala, a black tie evening, or an event where you already know you are meant to stand out. The bare neckline is an invitation for earrings with some weight. A strappy heel suits the split, and the white maxi dress needs nothing else beside it.
