Melanie Square Neck Open Back Midi Dress

A champagne square neck open back midi dress, cut for weddings, evening events and dinners where the dress carries the whole outfit. It reads simply from the front and opens up at the back, where a wide self-fabric band ties into a bow.

The bodice is cut straight across the bust and held by slim straps that adjust at the shoulder. It narrows to a sharp point at the front waist and sits over the skirt, leaving the waist open at each side. The skirt is close through the hip and then releases into a soft flare, falling below the calf and finishing above the ankle. The color is a solid pale champagne with a smooth, quietly lustrous surface.

Key features

• Square neckline — a clean horizontal cut across the bust on a spaghetti strap midi dress, with straps that adjust at the shoulder.
• Open back with a self-tie bow — the back is cut away below a wide band that ties into a bow, so this open back evening dress goes on without a zipper.
• Pointed bodice and side cutouts — the bodice finishes in a sharp V at the front waist and leaves the sides of the waist open.
• Flared midi skirt — cut close through the hip, then released so the hem falls below the calf and moves as you walk.
• Champagne colorway — a solid pale golden cream with no print and no contrast trim.

Frequently asked questions

Does this dress have a zipper?
No. The back closes with a self-fabric band tied in a bow and the shoulder straps adjust, so the dress pulls on.

How long is the skirt?
It is a midi. Total length runs from 118 cm in size S to 121 cm in XL, so the hem falls below the calf and above the ankle on most wearers.

How open is the back?
Fully open below the tied band. The back is cut away down to the waist seam, and the waist is open at each side as well.

What should I wear underneath?
The straps are slim and the back is bare below the band, so a strapless or adhesive bra works best.
