Riven Long Sleeve Maxi Dress - Pink

The Riven Long Sleeve Maxi Dress opens deep at the front and then ties itself closed, which is a more interesting decision than either move on its own. The v neckline runs deep, and the opening is fastened with a tie close, so how much of it stays open is yours to set. Long sleeves finish at elasticised cuffs. Below that the dress is uncomplicated: pink, maxi length, cotton, lined, with nothing competing for attention. Formal is where it sits, and it is the rare formal dress that will not make you uncomfortable for a whole evening. Tie the neckline where you actually want it before you leave, rather than adjusting it all night. A heel, an earring, hair off the face. Nothing at the neck, though: the opening is the detail, and a necklace would only get in its way.
