Polka Dot Lace-Trim V-Neck Maxi Dress

The Joselyn is a maxi dress in a satin fabrication with a black polka dot print, finished with lace trim along the V neckline.

The V neckline dips at the front and is edged with lace, which softens the line. The back mirrors it with a V design, so the dress is open from both sides. Satin gives the polka dot print a smooth, slightly glossy base. An invisible side zip with a hook and eye clasp closes the dress, and it is unlined, so the satin layer sits alone against the body.

Floor length, polka dots and a low back make this maxi dress a dinner-and-dancing piece: a summer wedding, a date where you want to be noticed, a party with a dress code. The print carries the look, so shoes and bag should be plain. Because the back is open, a bra with a low band or none at all is the practical choice. Hair up shows the back V; hair down shows the lace.
