Floral Print Halter Neck Maxi Dress in White

A white maxi dress covered in flowers is the shortcut to looking put together when the heat makes real effort impossible. The halter neck opens up the shoulders and collarbone, the buttoned front runs down the body, and the skirt keeps going all the way past the ankle. It is the dress you pull on for a garden party, a beach town dinner or a long walk somewhere with good light.

The material composition is 100% polyester, which is why the print stays bright wash after wash and the skirt keeps its swing instead of collapsing. The fabric is slightly stretchy through the body and the dress is not lined, so hold it up to a window before you commit to your outerlayer of choice underneath. The length runs from about 51.6 in on the smallest size to 52.5 in on the largest, so this is a true floor skimming maxi on most frames and something to wear with a heel if you are taller.

Keep the styling quiet and let the print talk. Flat leather sandals and a woven bag are all it really needs by day. For evening, add a heeled sandal, a stack of thin gold bracelets and nothing else. A denim jacket over the shoulders handles a cool breeze, and a wide brim hat makes the whole thing look deliberate rather than accidental. Undo the lowest few buttons if you want a little more movement in the skirt as you walk.
