Some dresses are front-row polite… until they spin you round. This immaculate Dando of London sample is one of those gowns. From the front, she’s sleek and sculpted – a fit-and-flare beauty in ivory burn-out lace over a nude base, with a bateau neckline and a neat diamante trim that nips in the waist.

But the drama really starts at the back. A very deep, scooped plunge edged in a dramatic fringe – it’s flirty, it’s elegant, it’s guaranteed to get a gasp or two as you walk away. And then there’s that train – long, sweeping, and made for swishing down an aisle like you own it.

She’s immaculate, she’s couture-polished, and she’s every bit the Dando of London head-turner.
