Mayven White Ditsy Floral Halter Maxi Dress

The Mayven Maxi Dress is a white ditsy floral maxi with a halterneck tie and short sleeves that sit off the shoulders.

The halterneck closes with a tie at the back of the neck, and from it the short sleeves drop down over the upper arms rather than the shoulders, so the shoulder line is bare but the arms are softly covered. Gathered, ruched detailing draws the dress in and puts movement into the print. The ditsy floral is small-scale on a white ground, which keeps it fresh rather than heavy. An invisible zip at the back closes the dress, and it is lined.

White with a small floral is a warm-weather classic, and this maxi dress suits daytime celebrations: a summer wedding, a christening, a long lunch in a garden. Flat sandals or espadrilles, a straw bag, and hair up so the halter tie is seen. Small gold hoops and nothing else at the neck.
