Elegant Strapless Pleated Maxi Dress for Weddings and Summer Parties
Maeve is a strapless pleated maxi dress that brings colour and movement to every step. A fitted bodice of horizontal stripes sits above a floor-skimming skirt of finely pleated vertical panels in berry, sage, mustard, blush, slate and cream. It's an easy pick for wedding guest outfits, Christmas parties and long summer evenings when you want something elegant without trying too hard.

Styling Tips

- Throw a cropped denim jacket over the top with flat sandals for a relaxed weekend lunch.
- Add a tailored cream blazer and block heels for a polished evening look when the temperature drops.
Care
Gentle cold hand wash or delicate machine cycle, turned inside out. Hang or lay flat to dry and cool iron if needed, avoiding the pleats. Always check the care label first.
Size & Fit
The bodice is designed to fit closely so the strapless neckline stays put, while the skirt is loose and flowing. Choose your usual size for a snug bodice; if you're between sizes or prefer a little more room through the bust, consider sizing up. Refer to the size guide below.
