Sloane Dress

High at the throat, bare from the neck to the hips behind.

The Sloane is a floor length maxi drawn in one long, deliberate line. A high mock neck and wide sleeveless shoulders give the front a calm, sculptural composure, while the bodice narrows to a point between deep cutaways at both sides of your waist. Then you turn, and the whole back opens, from just below the neckline down to a low ruched band that sits across your hips.

Below that band the skirt follows your curves closely before it softens into a fluted hem that sways around your ankles with every step. The knit has a soft stretch that holds the shape without stiffness, so the dress moves with you from the first toast to the last song. Choose sleek black or a warm, flattering dusty rose.

Where she goes: Evening weddings, gala dinners, birthday celebrations, engagement parties, rooftop cocktails, resort nights and every occasion that deserves a long, unforgettable exit.

How to style it: Sweep your hair into a sleek low bun or a polished high ponytail so the neckline and the open back stay clear. Add sculptural gold earrings or a statement cuff, a slim clutch and strappy heels in gold, nude or black. Skip the necklace, let a soft bronzed glow carry the bare back, and finish with a rosy or deep berry lip.
