Harriet | Floral Halter Cocktail Maxi Dress
Harriet | Floral Halter Cocktail Maxi Dress
Floral Halter Neck Maxi Dress for Weddings, Cocktails and Holidays
Meet Harriet, a floaty floral halter maxi dress that moves beautifully with every step. A soft watercolour-style print in peach, apricot, lilac and sage sits on a sheer, lightweight chiffon-look fabric, while a ruched waistband shapes the silhouette before the skirt falls to the ankle. It's an elegant cocktail dress for spring weddings, garden parties, the races and Christmas celebrations, and an easy holiday dress for resort evenings.
Product Details

- Cut/Fit: Fitted through the bodice with a wide ruched waistband that defines the waist.
- Length: Full maxi length, falling to the ankle.

Styling Tips
- Pair with clear or nude strappy heels and bold gold earrings for a wedding guest look.
- Add a cropped denim jacket and flat sandals for a relaxed garden party or brunch.
- Finish with a woven clutch, a gold cuff and a fascinator for a spring day at the races.
Care
Gentle cold hand wash or a delicate machine cycle inside a laundry bag, then hang to dry in the shade. Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and always check the care label.
Size & Fit
The bodice and waist sit close to the body while the skirt flows freely from the waistband. The adjustable neck tie lets you set the halter to suit you. If you are between sizes or prefer more room through the waist, size up.
