Solene Maxi Halterneck Dress - Black/White

Gingham at full length is a bolder choice than gingham usually gets to be, and the Solene Maxi Halterneck Dress commits to it properly. The halter neckline ties at the back, so the fit across the top is set rather than assumed, and the front drops into a deep V. Below that, ruched waist detail draws everything in before the skirt opens into an A-line. There are functional pockets — genuinely useful ones, not decorative — and an invisible side zip. The black gingham print runs throughout, and the dress is lined. A tie at the neck and pockets at the hip make this a dress you can actually spend a day in. It suits an outdoor wedding, a summer party, a long lunch in the sun. Keep the accessories minimal, because the print is already doing plenty. A flat sandal by day, a heel after dark.
