Strapless Dress

A strapless dress is the easiest thing in a wardrobe to layer over, because there is nothing at the shoulder for a jacket, a shrug or a coat to fight with. That is what makes one dress cover both a summer evening and a winter one, and it is a better reason to choose the cut than the neckline alone. The trade is that the bodice has to grip the ribcage to stay up, so it wants to be the one measurement you get exactly right.
