Waverly Maxi Dress

A long black dress works because of what it leaves out, and the Waverly leaves out plenty. A square neck sits flat across the collarbone, a slit opens the skirt, and no third idea turns up anywhere. Black against skin handles the rest.

Square neck holds the top, one slit cuts the skirt, and the hem runs long.

It is the one you reach for when nothing else feels right.
