Mayven Maxi Dress - White Ditsy

A ditsy print on white is the most forgiving pattern there is: busy enough to hide a crease, small enough never to overwhelm. The Mayven Maxi Dress puts it on a shape with more going on than first appears. A halterneck fastens with a tie at the neck, and beneath it short sleeves sit off the shoulder — a pairing you do not see often, and one that softens the severity a halter can otherwise carry. Gathered, ruched detail draws the fabric in through the middle, a back invisible zip closes it, and the dress is lined. White with a small floral is daytime dressing at its most straightforward. Take it to a garden wedding, a christening, a summer lunch, a holiday dinner. Flat sandals and a woven bag while the sun is up, then a heel and gold jewellery once it is not.
