Women’s Bodycon Slip Midi Dress | Deep Plunge Neckline | 5 Colours | UK Sizes 8 to 14 | Made in UK
The Nova Plunge Bodycon Midi Dress is one of those go-to dresses that earns its keep in the wardrobe. The deep sweetheart plunge neckline, adjustable spaghetti straps, bandage-panel skirt and close bodycon fit give it a polished, confident silhouette that works for date nights, parties and evenings out without needing much else around it. Pair with heels and a clutch and it is ready.
It comes in five rich colours: black, burgundy, khaki, navy blue and red. All are made from the same thick structured 95% polyester and 5% elastane blend, meaning the dress holds its shape throughout the evening without losing its smoothness. UK sizes 8 to 14 are available, and the elasticated back gives useful additional flexibility across the size range. Made in the UK.
Available Colours
Black is the most versatile and the most popular, working for almost any evening occasion and styling easily with gold, silver or nude accessories. Burgundy is rich and sophisticated, a strong choice for autumn and winter evenings. Khaki is an interesting alternative to the usual neutral tones and photographs well in natural light. Navy blue is the smart, polished option that works particularly well for smarter casual events. Red is bold and confident, the standout choice for Christmas parties and Valentine’s celebrations.

About This Dress
The neckline is the defining feature. It is a deep sweetheart plunge cut with a central notch that dips low at the front, creating an elegant, figure-forward look without being purely cut-out in style. It sits well without requiring specialist underwear as long as the strap adjustment is set correctly for your frame, and the adjustable metal sliders on both straps make that easy to get right.
The back of the dress is fully elasticated rather than zip-fastened. This serves two purposes: it makes the dress genuinely easy to get on and off, and it gives the back panel stretch that accommodates a wider range of body shapes within each size. For anyone who typically finds bodycon dresses a little rigid or unforgiving at the back, this is a practical and thoughtful detail.
The skirt is constructed in horizontal bandage-style panels that run from the waist to the hem. This construction adds structure and keeps the skirt smooth and flat against the body throughout the evening rather than riding up or losing its shape. The thick structured fabric blend reinforces this, giving the dress a premium feel that sits above its price point.
The midi length is a key part of the appeal. It falls below the knee, which gives the dress a sophistication and versatility that a mini version would not have. It works for smarter casual events, date nights and evening parties without reading as overly formal or clubwear-specific.

How to Style It
Date night: The black or burgundy version with strappy heeled sandals, a small shoulder bag and minimal gold jewellery. The plunge neckline does the styling work, so keep everything else paired back. A thin gold necklace works well if you want one.
Christmas or festive party: The red version is the obvious choice and it earns it. Add black heels and a black clutch for a clean, classic contrast. The burgundy version is a slightly more understated festive option if you prefer something a little less bold.
Smart casual evening: The navy blue or khaki versions styled with block-heeled mules and a fitted blazer worn open give the dress a more relaxed but still polished look. The midi length keeps it firmly on the right side of smart.
Cooler weather: A fitted leather-look jacket, a longline trench coat or a tailored blazer all work well over this dress. The adjustable straps mean the dress sits flat and does not bunch under outerwear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this dress have a zip?
No. The Nova Plunge Bodycon Midi Dress is a slip-on design with no zip. The fully elasticated back panel allows you to step into the dress and pull it into position without any fastenings. This also means the back sits smooth and flat without any zip bulk under outerwear.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes. Both spaghetti straps have metal adjustment sliders that allow you to lengthen or shorten them independently. This is useful for getting the plunge neckline to sit at the right depth for your frame and for ensuring the dress does not slip during wear.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes. The dress is made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane, giving it a soft, comfortable stretch throughout. The fabric is thick and structured rather than thin or clingy, which means it holds its shape across the bodycon silhouette and remains smooth against the body throughout the evening.
What bra should I wear with this dress?
Given the deep plunge neckline, a low-plunge or stick-on bra works best. The adjustable straps allow you to set the neckline depth to suit your preference. The elasticated back panel means there is no back zip to work around, which makes stick-on options more straightforward to use.
Should I size up or down?
We recommend ordering your usual UK size. The elasticated back gives useful additional stretch, particularly if you carry more of your shape at the back or hips. If you are between two sizes, size up for the most comfortable fit in a bodycon style. Contact us at contact@fbargainsgalore.co.uk if you would like advice on sizing before ordering.
Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?
Yes. A fitted leather-look jacket, longline trench or tailored blazer all sit comfortably over this dress. The adjustable straps lie flat under outerwear and the midi length keeps legs covered, making it a practical choice for autumn and winter evenings when paired with the right outer layer.
