Leg Avenue Woven Twist Net Backless Maxi Dress

Floor length, backless, and cut from a woven twist net in neon pink. A maxi dress in an open net is a strange and excellent idea: the length says formal and the fabric says absolutely not, and the argument between them is the look.

The open back means no bra, so plan the rest around that. Over a bodysuit or a bikini it is festival wear that survives a whole day. Over bare skin it is an evening piece and nothing else. A flat sandal keeps it easy and a heel makes it dramatic, and either way watch the hem around rough ground, since net catches on anything sharp. Hand wash in cool water and lay it flat to dry rather than hanging it wet, which drags a long hem out of shape.

Neon in a floor length cut is rare, because most makers keep bright colors to small pieces. Running it the full length of the body is what makes this dress an entrance rather than an accessory.
