Design Details and Benefits
- Twist knot sits exactly where the plunge ends - gives the neckline a natural stopping point instead of running unbroken to the hem
- Gathered shoulders rather than flat straps - adds texture at the top of the dress to match the ruching below
The waist twist is what stops the plunge from reading as one long, uninterrupted V. A halter neckline that runs straight from the collar to the hem can feel like a lot of exposed skin with nothing to break it up. Tying the fabric in a knot at the waist gives the eye a clear stopping point and turns the plunge into two deliberate sections instead of one long line. Worth knowing before you order: the neckline plunges low and the fit is close throughout, so this suits an evening out rather than daytime wear.
