Striped Halter Neck Maxi Dress with Contrast Piping

Stripes and a long easy skirt are a warm weather shortcut. This maxi dress ties at the neck, gathers through a smocked panel that holds it where you want it, then releases into a full length hem that moves with every step. It is a hot afternoon dress in the truest sense, made for slow dinners and the walk between them.

The dress is made from 96% polyester and 4% elastane, and the body is not lined. The neck ties, so the halter sits at whatever height suits you, and the smocked panel gathers rather than sitting rigid across the middle. Length runs from 51.2 in at S to 52.4 in at XL, which puts the hem at or near the ankle on most people. Sizes run from S to XL, and the striped pattern comes in blue, pink, dark blue, brown, yellow, black and burgundy.

It needs almost nothing from you. Flat leather sandals, a straw tote and sunglasses is the whole outfit on a beach day. Swap in wedges and gold hoops for dinner, and throw a denim jacket over the top when the evening turns cool. The vertical run of the stripe carries the eye down the length of the dress, and the tied neck leaves the shoulders clear for the times you want them clear.
