Betina Bow Front Maxi Dress - Brown Floral

One shoulder, a bow that stays put, and pockets: the Betina Maxi Dress is more practical than a dress with a bow on the front has any right to be.

The single shoulder strap adjusts and the other side is left bare, with no sleeve on either. The bow at the front does not detach, so it belongs to the dress rather than sitting on it as an accessory. A shirred panel across the back holds the fit, an invisible zip with a hook and clasp closes it, and working pockets sit in the sides. The floral print carries a gold metallic detail, and the skirt drops in tiers on an A-line. The top is lined and the skirt is not.

This is a wedding-guest dress with a long afternoon in mind: an outdoor ceremony, a reception, whatever carries on after it. A heel, hair up so the bare shoulder reads, nothing at the neck.
