Women's Halter Neck Bandage Dress - A-Line Polyester, S to L

Bandage construction means the dress is built from bands of stretch cloth joined edge to edge, each one pulling gently against its neighbours. The result holds a shape rather than draping over one, and the A-line release below the hip keeps it from being a sheath.

What it is made of

A dense polyester stretch. Bandage dressing only works with a cloth that recovers completely: every band has to return to its own length after every movement, or the seams between them go wavy. This weight recovers, which is why the horizontal lines stay straight across the body.

How it fits

A halter neckline, sleeveless, fitted through the bodice and waist, releasing into an A-line at the hip. Sizes S to L. The A-line is what makes it wearable for a full evening - the construction holds above the hip and lets go below it.

Where it earns its place

• Bands joined edge to edge, so the shaping is structural rather than elastic
• A-line release below the hip, so it holds without shortening the stride
• Halter carries the weight at the neck, leaving the back open
• Recovers fully after movement, keeping the seam lines straight
