Stripes and a halter neck — the combination that's been turning heads on every coastal holiday this decade.

At £180.99, the Casual Fashion Halter Neck Striped Maxi Dress delivers the resort aesthetic without the resort price tag — in Apricot, across sizes S to XL. The halter neck draws attention upward; the maxi length lets you walk into any room without worrying about anything.

The halter maxi formula — why it works every time:

Halter necklines have been earning their place in wardrobes for decades precisely because they're one of the most flattering neckline cuts across body types. Add vertical stripe construction and you get a dress that creates length, draws the eye upward, and requires zero styling knowledge to wear correctly.

Apricot — the colour that photographs like a filter:

Apricot is warm enough to look intentional, soft enough to pair with everything. In natural light it photographs with the kind of warmth that everyone attributes to good photography but actually comes from getting the colour right. Sand, gold, or ivory accessories — all work. None of them compete.

Honest answers:

"Is it appropriate without a bra?" — The halter construction provides its own structure. Most wearers find it sufficient without additional support, particularly in sizes S and M.
"Does the stripe distort around curves?" — The fabric hangs straight. The stripe direction is vertical, which means it works with the body rather than against it.
"Can I wear it in cooler weather?" — Layer an oversized linen shirt or blazer over the top and it works into early autumn. The halter neck stays visible and the look holds.

Halter maxi dresses in this colourway are always the first to run out. Pick your size now.
