This women's backless satin cocktail dress keeps the front simple and saves everything for the back. Smooth satin runs clean over the body from a single shoulder strap, the back drops open to the waist, and a high slit splits the skirt at the thigh. There is no ruching and no embellishment, just the cut and the fabric.

Why you'll love it:

• Open back to the waist, the detail that makes this an evening dress rather than a formal one
  
  
• Fluid satin with a soft sheen that drapes close without gripping
  
  
• One shoulder neckline for a clean asymmetric line that needs no jewellery
  
  
• High thigh slit so the long skirt moves properly when you walk
  
  
• Seven colourways: black, navy, wine red, hot pink, champagne, sage green and white
