Cross Over Back Detail Luxe Slinky Maxi Dress Black

There is something about an all-black floor-length gown that never goes out of style, but it is the back detail that makes this one a keeper rather than just another black dress in your wardrobe. The crisscross straps create a sophisticated open back without any visible hardware or clasps on the rear panel, so you can move freely at evening events knowing nothing will snag or buckle. Made from a smooth matte fabric blend - 95 per cent polyester and five per cent elastane for stretch - it skims your figure and hits right at floor level with low-heeled footwear. The sleeveless cut lets you layer under an oversized blazer during the cooler months, while in summer this is the kind of dress you can wear to a wedding or gala dinner and feel completely put together from every angle. It comes styled on a model who is 5 feet 8 wearing a UK size 8 for reference, but the stretch fabric makes it a flexible choice. For your night out wardrobe collection - whether that event is fancy dinner this weekend or formal function next season - you can rely on this silhouette to deliver without effort. A simple wash at low temperature keeps it looking sharp between outings.
