Women's Vintage Sequin Dress - V-Neck Short Sleeve, Green, S to XL

A short-sleeved sequin dress in deep green - a colour choice that does most of the work here. Green sequin reads as vintage where black reads as contemporary and gold reads as loud, and the short sleeve keeps the reference to an era rather than a costume.

What it is made of

Chiffon under sequin. The sleeve is where a sequin dress usually fails: fully sequinned sleeves are heavy and stiff at the elbow, so a short sleeve on a light ground keeps the arm free while holding the surface unbroken across the shoulder.

How it fits

A V-neckline with short sleeves, shaped through the body, falling long. Sizes S to XL. The short sleeve sets the proportion: it covers the shoulder, which a strapless sequin dress cannot, without the weight of a full-length sleeve.

Where it earns its place

• Deep green is what makes the sequin read as vintage rather than party
• Short sleeve covers the shoulder without the weight of a full one
• Chiffon ground keeps the dress from hanging stiff
• Sizes S to XL
