An asymmetric wrap dress with wide shoulders and a back worth turning for
From the front this Bicotone dress is all clean lines: a high round neckline, wide shoulders, a fitted waist. Then the skirt breaks the symmetry. It crosses over like a wrap, rises over one thigh and drops to a point on the other side.
The back is open, closed only by a button at the neck. The maker lists a covered zip and a lining, and gives a length of 87 to 90 cm across sizes 34 to 40.

The piece: models 192640 to 192644 by Bicotone
The supplier describes a fitted dress with a built-in neckline and an exposed back. The skirt is sewn asymmetrically, the top has the shape of a trapezoid and is finished with a button on the back. One model number stands for each of the five colours, and the text and size table are identical.
Trapezoid is a good word for the top. In the photos the shoulders extend a little past the shoulder point and hold their shape, which makes the waist look smaller. Whether there are actual pads inside, the maker does not say.
On colour names: the button "White" is the model the maker calls beige, and in the photos it is an off-white. "Pink" is a fuchsia and "pink 2" is a soft powder pink.
Who it's for
For you if you like a covered front and a surprise at the back. You can stand at a reception looking composed and still have something to show when you walk to the bar.
The open back does mean a regular bra will show. Plan for a backless or stick-on one. The sizes run from 34 to 40, so check the table if you are usually a 42.
Closer look: what the maker's data and the photos show
- Fitted cut with a high, closed neckline (maker's data)
- Exposed back with a button at the neck (maker's data, photos)
- Asymmetric skirt that overlaps at the front (maker's data, photos)
- Pleats at the waist on one side (photos)
- Covered zipper (maker's data)
- Lining (maker's data)
- Sleeveless, with wide structured shoulders (photos)
Fabric and feel: mostly viscose, lined
The composition is 70% viscose and 30% polyester, and the dress has a lining. There is no stretch fibre in the list, so the fit depends on the cut and on choosing the right size.
In the photos the fabric is matte and has enough body to hold the pleats and the pointed hem. The maker gives no fabric weight and does not state what the lining is made of.
Fit and silhouette: fitted, so measure
This is a fitted dress without stretch, so the waist number matters. Size 34 has a waist of 66 cm and a chest of 86 cm. Each size adds 4 cm to both, up to 78 and 98 cm in size 40.
The length in the table, 87 to 90 cm, is one number for an uneven hem. In the photos the short side ends at mid-thigh and the point reaches below the knee.
Size chart (cm)
| Size | Length | Chest | Waist |
|---|---|---|---|
| 34 | 87 | 86 | 66 |
| 36 | 88 | 90 | 70 |
| 38 | 89 | 94 | 74 |
| 40 | 90 | 98 | 78 |

Styling: hair up, bag small
In the photos the model wears heels and carries a small handbag each time: white with the off-white dress, black with the fuchsia. Simple pairs like that suit a dress that already has a lot going on.
Wear your hair up or over one shoulder so the back stays visible. Earrings do more for this neckline than a necklace. If the evening gets cold, a blazer over the shoulders follows the wide shoulder line well.
Occasions
The supplier files it under evening dresses. The pale colours make it a strong candidate for a summer wedding as a guest, a christening or a graduation. The off-white one is a possible choice for a civil ceremony or a rehearsal dinner if you are the bride.
Care: follow the label
The maker's data has no care instructions, so follow the label sewn into the dress.
Viscose can shrink or lose shape when it is washed hot, which is one more reason to read that label first.
The wow detail: one button
The whole back hangs from a single button at the neck. Below it the fabric parts into a triangle that ends at the waist. It is a small piece of engineering, and it is what people will remember about the dress.
