Adora White Polka Dot Cotton Halter Maxi Dress

The Adora Halterneck Maxi Dress is a white cotton maxi in a polka dot print, with a halterneck that leaves the shoulders and arms bare.

White with dots is a classic combination, and cotton is what it should be in: breathable, soft and easy in heat. The halterneck draws attention upward to the shoulders and collarbone, while the maxi length keeps the dress long and unhurried through the skirt. The print is dotted rather than floral, so it reads crisp from across a room rather than busy up close.

Think of this halter maxi dress as a warm-weather staple: a beach wedding, a holiday dinner, a weekend brunch where you want to look put together without trying. Flat sandals or espadrilles suit the cotton; a wedge heel dresses it up. Hair up to show the halterneck, one pair of earrings, and a bag in a colour that picks up the dots or contrasts with them.
