Famille Midi Dress - Black

Covered from the throat to the wrist and cut close the whole way: the Famille Midi Dress makes its case without showing much. The neckline sits high. The sleeves run long. Between them the bodycon fit follows the body down to midi length, with a split at the side that gives the walk somewhere to go. An invisible zip closes the back, and the dress is lined. It is a party dress for a room where you want to be looked at rather than looked over, and black is the right colour for that. With this much coverage the accessories have to work harder: a strong shoe, a good earring, a bag with some shape to it. Nothing at the neck, since there is no neckline there to interrupt. A long coat over the top rather than a short jacket.
