Melody Plisse Halter Maxi Dress - Black/Gold Polka Dot

Pleating catches light differently than a flat surface does, and that difference is the whole idea behind the Melody Plisse Halter Maxi Dress. The dress is made from a light plisse material that falls into a fine, even drape from the neckline all the way to the maxi hem. A halterneck style neckline and a sleeveless cut leave the shoulders and arms open, so the length never reads as heavy. A polka dot print in black and gold runs across the pleating. There is no zip — the dress pulls on — and it comes unlined, which keeps it as weightless on the body as it looks on the hanger. Unlined and airy makes this one of the easier long dresses to wear in heat, and plisse does not mind being folded into a case. That makes it a natural choice for summer weddings, rooftop evenings, and holidays where a single dress has to cover dinner and whatever follows it.
