Ruched Split Halter Neck Maxi Dress

Cut for warm days and long evenings, this halter maxi ties softly at the neck and falls into a fluid column, with a thigh high split that lets you move freely. Ruched detailing at the bodice gathers the fabric for a flattering shape.

It is made from a 95 percent polyester and 5 percent elastane blend that carries a slight stretch and stays unlined, so it feels light against the skin without clinging. The halter neck keeps the shoulders bare and the back open for a breezy feel.

Style it with flat sandals and a straw tote for the beach, then swap in heels and gold hoops when the sun goes down. It slips easily from a holiday afternoon into a dinner out.
