| Phoenix Bustier Dress: Choose this if you want a strapless black dress with festive detailing for dressier occasions: it pairs a sequin-embellished bustier band with silver and blue highlights against a smooth, matte crepe skirt in an A-line flared fit that falls to around the ankles, with a hidden back zip. The midi-to-floor-length silhouette (about 117 cm, or 46 inches, from the top of the bust in a size 6) combines rich drape with a party-ready shimmer, per the retailer's description of an elegant look. It comes in sizes 4 through 16 in Black, with a main body of 70% acetate and 30% polyester.[1,2,3] | Allyson Misty Blue Bustier Maxi Dress: Choose this if you want a strapless, floor-length maxi with an ethereal sheer voile overlay printed in abstract blue and dark watercolor tones, an opaque lined body, a built-in corset, and a wide A-line skirt with a hidden back zip. It suits occasions where a minimalist sheer column silhouette works, with 100% polyester fabric and a 52 inch length from the top of the bust. Note that the listing says it runs true to size, but STAUD's structured maxi styles with a defined bodice are reported by one source to come up small through the bust and shoulders, with advice to size up at least one.[4,5,6,7,8,9] | Cadence Satiny Long Dress: Choose this if you want a glossy, floor-length satin column dress with a halter neckline, exposed shoulders, and thin adjustable straps adorned with silver chain-like bead details. The bias-cut, slim-fit bodice flows loosely from the lower hips into a straight skirt with a back hem slit, and it comes in a bright turquoise-blue in sizes 2 through 16. Note the satin is non-stretch (mid-weight per one listing, lightweight per another) and unlined, and the care instruction is dry clean only.[10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17] |
