off-shoulder dress

A dress implicitly designed with a low and wide-cut neckline that leaves the shoulders and upper chest area bare. The sleeves must be attached to the dress.

Off-shoulder dresses are meant to accentuate the wearer's shoulders, collarbone, and neck (or nape), with the sleeves of an off-shoulder dress sitting on the upper arms instead of on top of the shoulders.
