Cowl Neck Maxi Dress with Open Back and Ruched Waist
This cowl neck maxi dress is built around three things: a deep draped cowl at the front, a low scooped open back, and ruching that runs from the waist through the hip. The shoulders are lightly structured, the sleeves are full length, and the skirt falls straight to the floor with a soft flare at the hem. The fabric is a matte stretch jersey knit with heavy drape and no shine. Measured flat, the back length runs 147 cm on S to 150 cm on XL, so this is a true floor-length dress rather than an ankle-skimmer. Black and Brown, sizes S to XL. Imported.

About This Product
This listing is for a women’s cowl neck maxi dress in a matte stretch jersey knit, offered in Black and Brown in sizes S to XL. The garment weighs 0.52–0.58 kg. The waistband is finished with an inside-out turned seam that hides the stitching, which leaves a small opening at the waist by design — this is how the dress is made and is not a fault. Measurements are taken flat by hand and may vary by 1–3 cm. Colour may look slightly different between screens. Imported. Eligible refund requests are accepted within 30 days of delivery, subject to our Return & Refund Policy.
Who It's For
Best for:
- Formal evenings, weddings and black-tie events
- Anyone who wants a covered front and an open back
- Bust 88–100 cm and waist 65–77 cm on the S–XL chart
- Heels — the hem is cut to clear the floor with them on
How to tell whether a floor-length dress will fit your height
Back length is the number that decides it, and on this dress it runs 147 cm on S up to 150 cm on XL, measured from the nape to the hem. As a rough guide, that reaches the floor on most people up to about 175 cm in bare feet, and clears the floor neatly once you add a heel. If you are shorter than about 160 cm the hem will pool, which some people want and some do not — it hems easily either way because the skirt is cut straight. The bust and waist run 88–100 cm and 65–77 cm across S to XL, and because the waist is ruched it gives a little past those numbers.
What to Pair It With
Heels, because the hem is cut long. A low-back or adhesive bra, since the back scoops well below the shoulder blades. Keep a necklace off and let the cowl do the work at the front; drop earrings suit the open back better. A wrap rather than a jacket if you need a layer.
Care Instructions
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colours, or hand wash. Hang to dry rather than tumble drying on high heat, which can set creases into the ruching. Cool iron on the reverse, and press around the ruched panel rather than flattening it.
