This emerald slip dress opens with exactly the details that make it work: thin adjustable straps, a draped cowl neckline that sits low without requiring a strapless bra, and a glossy finish that catches light the way a sequin dress wishes it could. The silhouette skims the body from chest to hip, then the ruched drawstring detail on the front pulls the skirt to one side, creating a high slit and an asymmetric hem that falls roughly at midi length.
The high-shine finish reads as a bold choice, and it is. This is a dress for holiday parties, New Year's Eve, a birthday dinner, or a bachelorette night out. The emerald color photographs well under warm and low light alike.
The open back and low cowl front mean a low-back adhesive solution works better than a standard bra. Because the finish is high-shine, it will show water drops and snags, so handle it with care on a night out.
