Open Back Maxi Dress Outfit: The 12th Tribe Watercolor Dress You Need This Spring
I am going to be honest with you. When I put this dress on I stood in front of the mirror for a full minute just looking at it. The open back did it for me. The rest did it for my husband. This 12th Tribe watercolor maxi dress is one of those rare pieces that makes every other dress in your closet feel slightly less special and I think you deserve to know about it.
I am 5'8" and wearing a small for length reference. The dress hits right at the floor which is perfect. If you have been looking for spring maxi dress outfits that actually feel special and not just pretty, this is the one.
Everything You Need to Know About This Dress
The Fabric
This is where I want to address the question I know you are already asking. Is it sheer? Absolutely not. The fabric is a stretchy mesh but it has two layers so it is completely opaque. You do not need any kind of slip or shapewear underneath. It is also incredibly comfortable to wear all day which is not always the case with a dress this beautiful.
The Fit and Sizing
I am wearing a small and I am 5'8" for reference. The fabric is super stretchy so it has a lot of give which makes sizing easy. The adjustable straps are a huge bonus because you can customize the fit and neckline exactly to your preference. I would say this runs true to size but if you are between sizes go with your smaller size because of the stretch.
The Open Back Detail
This is the detail that makes the whole dress. The low open back is elegant without being overdone and the adjustable straps frame it beautifully. From the front this 12th Tribe maxi dress is stunning. From the back it is a showstopper. I genuinely think this is one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever worn.
How I Styled This Open Back Maxi Dress Outfit
I kept the accessories simple because the dress does not need any help. A chunky pearl necklace from Amazon adds a feminine touch without competing with the print. A woven clutch also from Amazon ties into the warm tones of the watercolor print perfectly. For shoes I went with block heel sandals which give the dress the height it deserves while keeping it wearable all night.
