Contour Dress – Cowl Neck Modal Maxi Dress, Rosewood | Anushé Pirani

FAQs

How close-fitting is it?

This is the slimmest cut in the modal range — it skims the body rather than hanging away from it. If you prefer more ease through the waist and hip, size up.

Can I wear a regular bra with the plunge back?

The back opening is deep, so a low-back or adhesive style is the practical choice. The dress is fully lined but has no built-in cups.

Is the maxi length adjustable?

The dress is sold at a fixed length. It is cut long, so if you are shorter than the model you may want it altered by a tailor.

Does the cowl need ironing?

Steam only, and lightly. Pressing the cowl flat with a hot iron will flatten the folds that give the neckline its shape.
