Long Draped Open-Back Dress: Choose this if you want a fitted, floor-length viscose gown (100% viscose, made in France) with dramatic evening styling: a high draped cowl collar that ties at the back, structured shoulders with epaulets, long fitted sleeves, and a deep open back. It suits occasions where you want the retailer's described rich, satiny drape in glossy dark brown, a ruched side seam opening into a thigh-high slit trimmed with a gold chain pompon cord, and a hidden side zip. Note the maxi length measures 165 cm (about 65 inches) from the shoulder on the size 44 sample, and the back and slit are quite revealing, so it is best if you are comfortable with that exposure.[1,2,3]Ruched Long Single-Strap Dress: Choose this for a glamorous, body-skimming maxi in teal with a single wide strap over the left shoulder, adjustable slanted ruching down the front, and a large thigh-high slit. It is cut from soft, stretch satiny jersey (95% viscose, 5% spandex) with a fitted, asymmetrical silhouette and a 150 cm (59 inches) shoulder-to-hem length. Sizing is limited to medium and large, so check the fixed measurements against your fit preferences.[4,5]Short Dress With Fringes: Choose this if you want a form-fitting, sleeveless statement dress in black stretch ribbed knit with a high round neckline, crossover waist band, and long fringes that hang from the short skirt hem to below mid-calf. The openwork knit is intentionally revealing, with sheer slit lines showing skin beneath, which suits bold occasion wear but may not suit anyone wanting full coverage. It is made in France from 75% viscose and 25% polyamide, measures 51.25 inches (130 cm) from the top of the shoulder, and comes in sizes 36 to 42.[6,7,8]
