Gwenaelle Tarride | White Sparkly Sequin Halter Neck Tie Belt Sleeveless Mini Dress

Almost every sequin dress is sold on the assumption that you and it are already the same shape. This one comes with a belt, which quietly solves that. The self-tie sash wraps the waist and knots at the front, so the fit gets set by you rather than by the number on the label.

Above the waist it is a halter - the neckline gathers into a high band that fastens behind the neck, leaving the shoulders and the upper back completely bare. Below it the skirt runs close to the body and stops above the knee. The sequins are dense and fine-grained, closer to a shimmer than to individual discs, which is why the whole thing reads light rather than heavy despite covering as much as it does.

Bare shoulders, covered front, and a waist you control. For a dress with this much shine on it, it asks remarkably little of you.

Details You'll Love

• Self-tie sash belt - knots at the front and sets the waist where you want it rather than where the pattern decided.
• Gathered halter neckline - fastens behind the neck and leaves the shoulders and upper back bare.
• Fine-grained sequin surface - shimmers rather than throwing hard flashes, keeping it light despite full coverage.
• Close-cut skirt above the knee - narrow through the hip, which gives the belt something to define.
• Sleeveless with an open back - nothing across the shoulders, so a jacket goes on and off without disturbing the shape.
