Coast Women's Petite Tiered Lace Cross Halter Neck Button Detail Midi Dress in Black | Size: 16 Coast Black 16

Cross halterneck bodice wraps and ties at the nape, leaving the shoulders and back bare while the front sits with a clean, structured drape. Three jewelled floral buttons run down the centre front of the bodice - a considered detail that draws the eye without competing with the lace's own texture. An open-worked mesh insert sits at the natural waist, creating a defined break between the fitted bodice and the full tiered skirt below. The skirt builds across three sweeping tiers of lace, each one adding volume and movement as the hem falls to midi length - it swings when you walk. Lace with a fine, open-worked finish gives the fabric a delicate surface texture, with a subtle botanical pattern running through it that reads as intricate rather than fussy. Cut for the Petite frame, with proportions scaled so the waist sits correctly and the tiers fall at the right points rather than overwhelming a shorter silhouette. This dress works best when the rest of your look is kept deliberately rest
