Yesenia Halter Cowl Mini Dress - Black

The Yesenia catches light from inside the fabric rather than from anything stitched over the top of it, which is a quieter and more interesting way to do the same job. The sparkle comes from lurex thread run through the fabric and from rhinestone details set into it — visible when you move, invisible when you stand still. The neckline is a draped halter cowl that ties at the back, so the depth of the drape is set by how you tie it. A waist tie is attached to the dress. It is lined. Two ties on a short dress means the shape is genuinely adjustable: pull the waist in for a defined line or leave it loose for a straight one. The cowl neckline rules out a necklace and the tie back rules out loose hair, so put it up. A heel, a clutch, bare legs. Dinner somewhere with low lighting, which is where the thread does its work.
