Made to move with you
Every detail of the Backless Maxi Dress is designed around real bodies and real days, not a mannequin.
Flattering & Forgiving
A relaxed, adjustable cut that skims rather than clings, no shapewear required, whatever your shape.
Lightweight & Breathable
Our custom Softblend™ fabric is airy against the skin and resists wrinkling, even after a long day.
Adjustable Back Design
Pull the fabric over the straps to tighten or loosen: one dress, a fit that's entirely yours.

What customers are saying
"So lightweight I assumed it would run sheer, but it doesn't. Solid colour, beautiful drape, and the adjustable back means it actually fits."
"By far my favourite house dress, and it's nice enough that I've worn it out to dinner twice now. Doesn't wrinkle in the suitcase either."
"Finally a maxi dress that doesn't need shapewear underneath. Comfortable from morning to night, and it photographs beautifully."
