Openwork Halter Neck Mini Dress in Apricot

Apricot is a difficult color to get right and this one lands it: warm, soft, and flattering against both fair and deep skin tones. The openwork body keeps everything light and airy, the halter neck opens up the shoulders, and tassels finish the ties so there is a little movement every time you turn. It looks like holiday even before you have packed.

The dress is made from 100% polyester with no stretch, and it is not lined, which is what keeps it so light in the heat. Openwork construction lets air move through rather than trapping it against you. The ties let you set the halter where it sits best, and the tassel detail keeps the finish playful rather than plain. Sizes run S to L, with a length of 31.1 to 31.9 in, which falls as a mini on most frames. Because there is no stretch, size up if you want the openwork to fall loosely rather than close to the body.

Wear it over a swimsuit at the pool with slides and a straw bag, or on its own for a warm evening with flat sandals and gold hoops. It works for a beach dinner, a market morning or a slow afternoon somewhere hot. Since the body is openwork and unlined, most people wear something underneath, and a simple slip or a matching swimsuit is the easiest answer. It packs to almost nothing and shakes out ready to go.
