Close-fitting rather than flowing, and the only dress in this group cut that way. An asymmetric one-shoulder neckline opens the top half, the body follows the figure down past the knee, and the hem flares out in a mermaid shape. The fabric is embroidered mesh over a soft lining, with spandex in the blend for stretch. One colourway, a coffee brown. The maker has reworked the shoulder construction to stop the strap sliding, which is the standing complaint with this neckline.

The short version

Start here

Shoulder built to stay put

One-shoulder dresses slip. The maker says the structure here was changed to improve upper-body support and reduce that, which is worth knowing before an event where the alternative is spending the evening adjusting a neckline.

Embroidery rather than print

The florals are embroidered into the mesh, so the pattern has depth and layered texture instead of sitting flat on the surface. On a single dark colourway, that texture is most of what the dress has to say for itself.

Mermaid hem on a fitted body

The silhouette holds close through hip and thigh, then releases at the hem. It changes how the dress walks, with shorter steps than an A-line maxi allows, which is the trade for the line it gives standing still.

Fit, honestly

Sizes run S to XL, with S at 4-6 and XL at 16-18, and the maker calls it true to size. The blend is 95% polyester with 5% spandex over a lining, so there is real stretch, but the cut is fitted by intent rather than forgiving.
