Ruched Split Spaghetti Strap Maxi Dress

Some dresses ask for a lot of styling and some simply do the work for you. This ruched maxi is firmly in the second camp. The gathered detail runs through the body so the fabric moves with you rather than sitting flat, and the long clean line does the rest. Slim spaghetti straps keep the shoulders open, and a slit breaks up the floor length skirt so walking never feels restricted.

The fabric is 100% polyester with a slight amount of stretch, so it gives a little as you move without losing its shape. It is not lined, which keeps the weight down and makes it an easy pick for warm days and warm rooms. Length runs from 55.1 inches in a small to 55.9 inches in a large, so this is a genuine floor skimming maxi on most heights.

Choose green, black or burgundy depending on the mood. Flat sandals and a straw tote turn it into a holiday dress, while a heeled sandal and a few gold pieces take it straight to dinner. A cropped jacket or a light knit over the top works when the evening cools off, and the ruching still reads through the layer.
