This emerald midi dress is built around a structured sweetheart bodice with visible underwire-style seaming and clear adjustable straps, so it stays in place without a strapless bra if the straps are not your style. The skirt falls into dense ruching that runs the full length and gathers at the hem with two fabric tie-strings on each side, letting you pull the hem shorter or leave it at midi length.
The finish is high-shine and fluid, catching light the way satin does at a holiday party or a New Year's Eve dinner. Emerald reads deep and rich rather than bright, which means it photographs well and works equally well under venue lighting.
The drawstring hem is the practical detail worth noting: pull both ties and the dress becomes a mini, leave them loose and it sits at midi. Good for a December wedding where the ceremony calls for one length and the dance floor calls for another.
