Mayven Maxi Dress - Burgundy

Polka dots on a deep burgundy ground give the Mayven Maxi Dress its particular charm — classic from across the room, a little more playful once you are close enough to see the print. The halterneck fastens with a tie at the neck, which means the fit across the bust is yours to set rather than something to accept. Underneath, short sleeves sit off the shoulder, an unexpected pairing that softens the severity a halter can carry on its own. Gathering and ruched detail draw the fabric in through the waist, and the polka dot print runs the full maxi length. An invisible zip closes the back, and the dress is lined. It reads well in daylight and holds its own after dark, which makes it useful for the events that run through both. A garden wedding, a christening lunch that turns into an evening, a race day. Flat sandals early, a heel later, and very little else.
