Size & Fit Guide

This dress features a body-hugging, slim fit silhouette designed to sculpt and celebrate your curves. The stretchy polyester fabric provides a figure-flattering drape while allowing comfortable movement throughout your evening. The halter neckline ties at the nape of the neck for an adjustable, secure fit, while the high waist design creates an elongated, defined silhouette. The dramatic floor-length hem and high side slit add elegance and movement.

⚠️ Important Sizing Note: This item uses Asian sizing, which runs 1-2 sizes smaller than standard US sizing. We strongly recommend sizing up at least one size for the best fit. If you're between sizes or prefer a more comfortable fit, consider sizing up two sizes. This is especially important given the bodycon, form-fitting design.

Reference Size Chart:

Sarah Express Halter Backless Maxi Dress Size Chart Measurements

Fit Tips:

  • Bust Measurement: The halter design requires proper bust fit for support and comfort. Measure around the fullest part of your bust and compare to the chart, then size up 1-2 sizes from your result
  • Waist Definition: The high waist sits at your natural waistline, creating definition. If you're between waist measurements, choose the larger size for comfort
  • Length Consideration: Floor-length design is approximately 43-45 inches. With heels, this will skim the floor elegantly. Hemming may be needed if you're petite (under 5'4")
  • Bodycon Stretch: The polyester fabric has slight stretch (approximately 5-10%) but maintains a fitted silhouette. If you prefer ease of movement, definitely size up
  • Backless Design: Because of the open back, traditional bras won't work. Plan for stick-on cups, backless bra solutions, or go braless if comfortable
  • When in doubt: Contact our customer service with your measurements for personalized sizing assistance before ordering
Features & Fabric
  • Halter Neckline: Elegant neck-tie halter design that creates beautiful shoulder definition, elongates the neck, and provides adjustable fit and support
  • Backless Design: Dramatic open back extends from shoulders to mid-back, creating a sultry, sophisticated look that's perfect for making an entrance and exit
  • High Side Slit: Leg-lengthening slit adds movement and modern edge while making walking and dancing comfortable. The slit is positioned for elegance, not excessive exposure
  • Material Composition: Premium polyester fiber fabric chosen for its smooth finish, slight sheen, elegant drape, and wrinkle resistance
  • Fabric Feel: Soft, smooth polyester with a luxurious hand-feel and subtle sheen that photographs beautifully. The fabric has a medium weight that drapes elegantly without clinging uncomfortably, with slight stretch (approximately 5-10%) for ease of movement
  • Stretch & Fit: Slight stretch provides just enough give for comfortable wear and movement while maintaining the dress's sculptural, body-hugging silhouette throughout the evening
  • Silhouette: Bodycon slim fit design that follows your natural curves, creating a streamlined, sophisticated hourglass shape. The high waist construction emphasizes the narrowest part of your torso
  • Construction Details: Concealed side zipper ensures smooth lines without visible hardware. Collage/stitching craftsmanship creates clean seams and a polished finish
  • Length: Floor-length maxi design (approximately 43-45 inches from shoulder to hem) creates formal elegance and pairs beautifully with heels
  • Lining: Unlined construction keeps the dress lightweight and allows the fabric to drape smoothly. We recommend seamless undergarments for a flawless look
  • Opacity: Opaque polyester fabric provides full coverage (except for the intentional backless and slit design)
  • Care Instructions: Hand wash cold with like colors and lay flat to dry, or choose professional dry cleaning for best results and garment longevity. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Steam gently if needed to remove wrinkles. Store hanging to maintain the dress's shape. Imported.
How to Style

This isn't just a dress - it's your confidence in fabric form. Designed for the woman who walks into a room and owns it, this halter backless maxi combines timeless elegance with modern sensuality. The dramatic open back and high slit create unforgettable moments, while the floor-length silhouette maintains sophisticated formality. Whether you're attending a black-tie wedding, celebrating at a gala, or enjoying a romantic evening, this dress ensures all eyes are on you. The key to styling this statement piece is letting the dress be the star while adding carefully chosen accessories that enhance without competing.

Complete Outfit Ideas

  • Classic Black Tie Elegance: Style the black dress with strappy metallic heeled sandals (gold or silver), delicate drop earrings, a slim tennis bracelet, and a structured clutch. Keep hair in a sleek low bun or elegant updo to showcase the halter neckline and open back. Add a bold red lip for timeless Hollywood glamour. Perfect for galas, formal weddings, or charity events.
  • Modern Minimalist Chic: Pair the dress with barely-there nude stiletto sandals, geometric statement earrings in gold, and a simple gold cuff bracelet. Wear hair in loose, effortless waves swept to one side. Keep makeup fresh and glowing with a nude lip. Carry a sleek clutch in a complementary neutral. Ideal for upscale cocktail parties or modern art gallery openings.
  • Romantic Date Night: Choose the elegant green shade with champagne or rose gold strappy heels, delicate layered necklaces that drape along the open back, and romantic drop earrings. Style hair in soft curls or a romantic side-swept style. Add a subtle shimmer to shoulders and collarbones to highlight the backless design. Carry a small beaded or embellished clutch. Perfect for anniversary dinners or special celebrations.
  • Wedding Guest Perfection: Wear with elegant block-heel sandals (more comfortable for all-day wear), classic pearl or crystal earrings, a delicate bracelet, and a structured box clutch. Consider a pashmina or elegant shawl for ceremony coverage if needed. Keep hair polished - try a chic low ponytail or soft waves. This look works beautifully for evening receptions and formal daytime weddings.
  • Statement Glamour: Go bold with the black dress paired with eye-catching metallic platform heels, dramatic chandelier earrings (skip the necklace to keep focus on the neckline), stacked bangles, and a jeweled clutch. Opt for a high, sleek ponytail or dramatic side part with glossy waves. Add a smoky eye and nude lip. Perfect for prom, milestone birthday celebrations, or nights when you want maximum impact.
  • Sophisticated Evening Affair: Style the dress with pointed-toe pumps, a cuff bracelet, sophisticated stud or small hoop earrings, and a leather or satin clutch. Add a tailored blazer or elegant wrap for arrival and cooler moments (remove to reveal the full dress impact). Wear hair in a sophisticated low chignon. This elevated look works for corporate galas, theater openings, or upscale restaurant reservations.

Styling Q&A

Q: How long does shipping take?
A: This item qualifies for standard delivery and typically arrives in 7-12 business days within the USA. We recommend ordering well in advance of your event to allow time for delivery and any necessary alterations.
Q: What do I wear underneath with the backless design?
A: For the backless design, we recommend stick-on silicone bra cups, a backless/strapless adhesive bra, or fashion tape for support if needed. Many women find the halter neckline provides sufficient support to go braless, especially with the right fit. For the bottom, choose seamless nude undergarments or a seamless thong to avoid visible lines under the body-hugging silhouette.
Q: How high is the slit? Is it too revealing?
A: The high slit is positioned to be elegant and fashion-forward, typically hitting at mid-to-upper thigh. It's designed to create movement and elongate the leg without being overly revealing. When standing still, the slit stays closed; when walking, it opens gracefully. The slit is on-trend for formal events and strikes a sophisticated balance between modest and modern.
Q: I'm between sizes - should I size up or down?
A: Always size up! This dress uses Asian sizing which runs 1-2 sizes smaller than US standards. If you're between sizes, we strongly recommend choosing the larger option, especially given the bodycon fit. A slightly looser fit will be more comfortable for all-evening wear and won't compromise the elegant silhouette. You can always have it tailored in if needed.
Q: What type of shoes work best with this dress?
A: Heels are essential with this floor-length maxi dress - they'll prevent tripping and create beautiful proportions. Strappy heeled sandals (3-4 inches) are ideal and show off the high slit beautifully. Pointed-toe pumps create a classic look. For comfort during long events, choose block heels or platforms. Metallic shades (gold, silver, rose gold) are versatile, while nude elongates the leg line, and black creates sleek sophistication.
Q: What jewelry should I wear with the halter neckline?
A: The halter neckline creates its own statement, so skip the necklace - it will compete with the design and look cluttered. Instead, focus on beautiful earrings (drops, chandeliers, or elegant studs) and a bracelet or cuff. If you want back drama, consider a delicate back necklace or body chain that drapes along the open back. Let the dress's neckline and back be the focal points.
Q: Is this appropriate for a wedding guest?
A: Yes, absolutely - especially for evening and cocktail attire weddings! The floor-length silhouette is perfectly formal. Choose the elegant green to avoid any "wearing black to a wedding" concerns, or wear black confidently for evening receptions. The backless design and slit are fashion-forward but still event-appropriate. Just be mindful of very conservative or religious ceremonies where you might want to bring a wrap or shawl for coverage.
Q: How do I keep the halter tie secure all evening?
A: Tie the halter straps in a double knot at your nape for security, making sure it's snug but not uncomfortably tight. You should be able to fit one finger between the tie and your neck. If you're concerned about the tie loosening, use a small safety pin on the inside of the knot for extra security. Adjust the tie length so the dress sits comfortably at your bust without pulling or gaping.
Q: Can I have this dress altered or hemmed?
A: Yes! If you're petite, a professional tailor can hem the dress to your perfect length. When getting alterations, wear the exact heels you plan to wear with the dress. A good tailor can also adjust the fit at the bust or waist if needed after you receive it. Always order your size based on your largest measurement, then tailor in for a custom fit.
Q: How do I care for this dress after wearing?
A: After your event, check for any stains or marks and address them immediately with a professional dry cleaner - don't wait or attempt home stain removal on polyester. Air the dress out before storing. For long-term storage, hang it in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight. If you hand wash, use cold water and gentle detergent, then lay flat to dry - never wring or twist the fabric. A quick steam before wearing will remove any storage wrinkles.
