A deep V neckline crosses at the waist, full balloon sleeves gather at the cuff, and the skirt falls to floor length with a thigh-high slit on one side so walking on sand or cobbles doesn't mean holding the hem up. It's the kind of dress you'd wear straight from a beach dinner into the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep V neckline that crosses and ruches at the waist\u003c\/strong\u003e - defines the shape without needing a separate belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull balloon sleeves gathered at the cuff\u003c\/strong\u003e - add volume up top to balance the fitted waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen diamond-pattern lace knit\u003c\/strong\u003e - lets colour and light through rather than sitting as a solid block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloor-length skirt with a thigh-high side slit\u003c\/strong\u003e - keeps the silhouette long while still leaving room to walk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuching gathers at the waist rather than sitting loose\u003c\/strong\u003e - is what pulls the V neckline in and gives the dress its shape through the middle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlit placed on one side only\u003c\/strong\u003e - keeps the front reading as a clean floor-length line rather than splitting down the centre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ruched waist is doing more than it looks like it is - without it, an open-knit dress this long would hang fairly shapeless from the shoulder. Gathering the fabric in at one point gives the whole dress a waistline to work from, so the balloon sleeves and the skirt both have something to play against instead of just adding volume everywhere at once. Worth knowing before you order: the knit is open throughout, not just at obvious cutouts, so this sits closer to a beach evening piece than fully opaque eveningwear, and what's underneath will show through in bright light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and Coverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's fitted and ruched through the waist, with a plunging V front and full sleeves, and coverage runs floor-length at the front with a thigh-high slit on one side. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFabric and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's made from polyester, worked into an open, diamond-pattern lace-style knit. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer. Check the care label on your own garment as well, and avoid pulling at the diamond stitch when it catches on jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA slip dress or bikini underneath, since the knit is sheer throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrappy flat sandals for a beach dinner, or block heels if your evening runs later\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop earrings rather than a necklace, so the V neckline stays uncluttered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails You'll Love\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has that rare quality of looking dressed-up and completely relaxed at the same time - long enough for dinner, open enough that you're not sweating through a beach evening in it.
