Fit & Size

This maxi dress features a true bodycon silhouette, designed to closely skim and contour the body from the neckline down to the hem. It offers a snug yet comfortable fit, accentuating your natural curves. The neckline is a classic crew neck in the front, while the back is dramatically open, extending down to the lower back for a striking reveal. The fabric provides excellent coverage and is not sheer, offering confidence and support. With a significant amount of stretch, the dress adapts to your form, allowing for ease of movement. It hits at a maxi length, typically reaching the ankles or just above, depending on your height. For someone around 5'8", a size Small would likely hit at the ankle.

Fabric & Care

The dress is crafted from a substantial, smooth knit fabric with a noticeable stretch and a soft handfeel. It has a resilient quality, characteristic of a bandage-style material, ensuring it holds its shape while conforming to your body. The fabric drapes beautifully, creating a sleek and polished look. To care for this garment, we recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent and laying flat to dry to maintain its shape and elasticity. Avoid bleach and tumble drying to preserve the fabric's integrity.

Details

The dress features a classic crew neckline at the front, offering a clean and elegant frame for the décolletage. It boasts long, fitted sleeves that extend to the wrist, providing a sophisticated balance to the open back. The waistline is defined by the bodycon construction, seamlessly flowing into the skirt without any distinct seams or closures at the waist itself. The most striking detail is the entirely open back, which is secured by a single horizontal strap across the mid-back and a halter-style strap at the neck. There are no visible zippers or buttons, suggesting a pull-on style that relies on the fabric's stretch for entry. The hemline is straight, creating a clean finish at the maxi length. The dress is unlined, but the substantial nature of the fabric ensures opacity. Due to the backless design, it is not bra-friendly with traditional bras; adhesive pasties or a stick-on bra would be recommended for support if desired.

How to style it

This Bandage Backless Long Sleeve Maxi Dress is your go-to for making a grand entrance. It's perfectly suited for a glamorous club night, a chic cocktail party, a memorable birthday celebration, or any event where you want to exude confidence and style. Pair it with strappy high heels and a sleek clutch for an elevated evening look. For a touch of edgy sophistication, layer a tailored leather jacket over your shoulders. Minimalist jewelry will allow the dress to truly shine, perhaps a delicate necklace if you're comfortable with the backless design, or statement earrings.
