Halter Neck Sleeveless A Line Maxi Dress

A halter neck maxi is the closest thing to a summer uniform. This Belinda dress leaves the shoulders and back open, then drops straight to the floor in one long line, so it stays cool when the day is warm and still looks like an occasion when the evening arrives. It comes in blue, white, pink and black, which covers everything from a beach afternoon to a rehearsal dinner where you would rather not think too hard.

The fabric is 100% polyester with no stretch, so the dress holds a clean drape and the length falls without clinging to the leg. The body is not lined, and a button detail finishes the design. The size run is genuinely generous, going from S all the way through 3XL. In a size S the dress measures 50.8 in in length with a 37 in bust, and at 3XL it reaches 52.8 in long with a 48 in bust, so the floor length holds true as the fit grades up rather than shortening on larger sizes.

Flat sandals keep it easy for daytime and a heeled sandal lifts the hem for dinner. Because the neckline covers the shoulders and leaves the back bare, it wants minimal jewelry up top, so a pair of statement earrings usually does more than a necklace would. Throw a linen shirt over the top for sun cover, or a denim jacket when the temperature drops after dark.
