Women's Pleated Halter Neck Maxi Dress with Corset Back

Floor-length pleated gown with a corset back and a choker halter strap

The bodice is ruched across a sweetheart neckline and structured to stand on its own, while a slim choker strap fastens at the throat and falls away into two long panels that trail down the back. Behind, the bodice laces through a corset opening that draws the fit in. From a high empire seam the skirt breaks into fine knife pleats that run the full drop to the floor, widening as they fall.

Features

• Neckline: Ruched sweetheart neckline on a strapless bodice.

• Neck strap: Choker-style halter with long trailing back panels.

• Back: Lace-up corset back.

• Waist: Empire seam sitting directly under the bust.

• Skirt: Knife-pleated, full, and cut to floor length.

• Silhouette: A-line gown that widens from the bust down.

Texture & Finish

Closely spaced pleats give the skirt its movement and a matte, non-reflective surface. The bodice is smooth where the ruching gathers it, and the pleated panels lift and float as the wearer moves.

Fit & Sizing

The corset lacing adjusts the bodice across the back, so the fit can be pulled in or eased. Sizes run S to XL. The skirt is cut long with heels in mind. Consult the size chart before choosing a size.

Styling & Occasion

A formal-occasion gown: garden ceremonies, evening receptions, gala dinners and balls, and a strong choice for a wedding guest. Because the back does the talking, wear hair up and keep to drop earrings and a fine bracelet. A clutch and heeled sandals finish it.

Care

• Hand wash cold, or dry clean to preserve the pleats.
• Do not wring the pleated skirt.
• Hang to dry so the pleats fall straight.
• Steam rather than press with a hot iron.
