h6. Requirements of an off-shoulder dress
* The sleeves are [b]attached[/b] to the dress.
* A low, wide-cut neckline exposing the shoulders and upper chest area is present in the dress design.

h6. An off-shoulder dress is not...
* Any dress that simply exposes the shoulders ([[strapless dress|strapless]], [[sleeveless dress|sleeveless]], or [[single-shoulder dress]]es) without the requirements above.
* A  [[jacket]] or [[coat]] worn alongside a [[dress]] that hangs off the arms, but the dress itself does not fit the requirements (e.g. post #4842407, post #5056599, post #4946909, post #4590647, post #4462891). Those should be tagged just [[off shoulder]] instead.
