L (US 8 / UK 12 / EU40)

It features a sleeveless sweetheart neckline, tie-back halter straps leading to a partially open back, and a high-cut front slit to accent the floor-length column silhouette

This versatile piece works beautifully for dinner dates, gallery openings, or even as a guest at autumn weddings when styled with elegant accessories and a structured clutch
