Sweater Dress

I love bateau-neck and scoop-neck dresses with cut-out designs or with a deep-v on the back. I love the way the simplicity of the front almost deceives you into believing that it is an unadorned and basic dress. I love the unexpected drama that the back adds. It's the perfect balance of plain and provocative. However, I find plunging necklines on both sides of the dress to be too busy and borderline tasteless. Also, to avoid too much busy-ness, stick with solid colors or barely noticeable patterns.
