Women's Halter Neck Cut-Out Dress - Sleeveless Slim Fit, S to L

The cut-outs are placed rather than scattered: at the waist, where the body narrows anyway, so they emphasise a line that already exists instead of inventing one. Halter neck above, slim through the body, sleeveless throughout.

What it is made of

Polyester with enough stretch to hold a slim line without constricting. A cut-out dress puts unusual demands on its cloth - the fabric has to keep its shape at every opening edge, because a cut-out that stretches out of true is immediately obvious. This weight holds those edges.

How it fits

A halter neckline that ties behind, sleeveless, slim through the body. Sizes S to L. The halter carries the weight of the dress from the neck rather than the shoulders, which is what allows the shoulders and upper back to be left entirely open.

Where it earns its place

• Cut-outs sit at the waist, following a line the body already has
• Halter takes the weight at the neck, leaving the shoulders bare
• Cloth holds its shape at every cut edge
• Sleeveless and unlined at the arm, for warm rooms and warm months
