This women's sleeveless cocktail dress is the quietly expensive looking one. A high neck, a clean sleeveless shoulder, and gathered ruching that runs diagonally across the waist and hip so the fabric never sits flat against you. It finishes below the calf with a slit at the back so you can walk.

Why you'll love it:

• Asymmetric ruching across the middle does the smoothing, no shapewear required
  
  
• High neckline and covered shoulders, so it reads elegant rather than revealing
  
  
• Back slit lets you move properly in a long fitted skirt
  
  
• Heavy stretch jersey that holds its shape through a whole evening
  
  
• Eight grown up colourways from black and wine red to rust, teal and forest green

Equally at home as evening wear, a occasion dress.
