Why it's worth it
Two gold diamonds turn a bare back into a finished thought.
The Edit
A deep cowl back opens the entire dorsal plane from shoulder to mid-spine, held in tension by two hammered gold diamond-shaped hardware pieces set at each shoulder seam — equal parts closure and sculpture. The front reads high-necked and covered; the back is bare, making the dress a study in controlled contrast. Knit construction in a smooth-weight fabric keeps the silhouette skimming without cling.
Insider Tip
Runs large — size down one for the cowl to fall correctly rather than gap.
