Khaki Backless Mini Dress - Criss-Cross Tie Spaghetti Strap

The Khaki Backless Mini Dress is designed to reveal its best detail from behind. The front reads clean and understated — a deep V neckline, fitted empire bodice, and two-tier A-line skirt in linen-textured khaki — but the back is where the construction commits. Two spaghetti straps cross at the center of an open back before meeting at the lower spine in a knotted tie, leaving the entire back panel exposed from shoulder to waist. The silhouette is casual enough for a beach town afternoon and deliberate enough to photograph at a rooftop dinner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the open back construction affect sizing?
A: The fit is determined by the empire bodice and the bust. The open back has no closure — it is a fixed construction. If you carry more volume through the chest, size up for the most comfortable fit through the bodice.

Q: What are the care instructions?
A: Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle. Hang to dry to preserve the linen texture and the shape of the tiered skirt. Do not tumble dry.

Q: Does the criss-cross back stay in place during wear?
A: Yes. The straps are fixed at the shoulders and tied at the lower back. The tie is functional and adjustable for fit. Once knotted at your preferred tension, the back construction holds throughout wear.

Q: Can this dress be worn with a bra?
A: The open back and criss-cross strap construction are not compatible with a standard bra. Adhesive options or a built-in solution work best with this silhouette.
