Orange Floral Halterneck Maxi Dress

A maxi dress in a large orange floral print, gathered at the neck into a halter and fitted with working pockets.

Shirred detail runs along the halter neckline and thin adjustable straps hold it at the shoulder, so the front sits where you set it. A cut out opens the fabric under the bust, and below that a shirred elasticised waistband draws the shape in. The pockets are functional. An invisible zip closes the back with a hook and eye clasp, and the dress is partially lined.

A large print at full length is a confident choice, and orange makes it a warm weather one. It suits a wedding outdoors, a garden party, an afternoon event where you will be standing in sunlight. Pockets change how a long dress feels to wear, so take advantage and carry the smallest bag you own. Flat sandals or a block heel both work beneath the orange maxi dress.
