Cut on the bias in a soft silver grey with a subtle sheen, this dress should skim rather than cling, falling in one unbroken line from a delicate double-spaghetti strap bodice to a floor-sweeping hem. The V-front neckline is simple and low, letting the fabric and the fall of the skirt carry the whole look.
Wear it exactly as is for evening, or dress it down with a fitted blazer and heels for something unexpected. A slim belt at the waist adds definition if you want it, though the bias cut does that job on its own.
