Rowan Long Sleeve Knit Maxi Dress - Black

The open back is what sold me and it doesn't disappoint — the knit is thick enough that it stays put without feeling heavy. Wore it to a birthday dinner and the button-and-loop neckline kept everything in place all night. Only thing is it runs a touch long on my 5'4" frame, but with heels it's perfe

Wore this to a dinner party and got asked where it was from three times. The open back is the real draw, but the waistline detailing keeps it from looking plain. Knit has enough give that I didn't feel sucked in all night.

I was worried the knit would feel stiff but it's actually soft and stretches just enough to skim rather than cling. The open back is the real draw here, and the button and loop closure at the neckline stays put instead of gaping. Wore it for a long dinner and never once wanted to change.
