Gilbert Strapless Maxi Dress - White

A white strapless maxi is the least complicated dress in the room and, handled properly, the most striking. The Gilbert Strapless Maxi Dress is exactly that proposition. There is no print and no neckline detail to talk about: the dress is strapless, the shoulders are bare, and the line runs uninterrupted from the top of the bust to the floor. It is cotton, so the surface is matte and the fabric breathes, which is a different feel entirely from a shiny white dress and a considerably easier one to wear in heat. Plain white asks for a decision about accessories rather than allowing you to skip one. Gold jewellery warms it, silver keeps it cool, and a tan sandal grounds it. It is an obvious choice for a holiday, a beach wedding, an engagement dinner, or any occasion where the brief is quietly white.
