Oralie Halter Maxi Dress - Pale Pink Floral

Pale pink is a difficult colour to get right and an easy one to get wrong. The Oralie gets it right by keeping the shape soft rather than structured. The halter neckline leaves the shoulders and upper back open. Over the body sits a ruffle overlay, which is what gives the dress its movement even when you are standing still, and a split at the side releases the skirt as you walk. The floral print is scaled to the length rather than fighting it. An invisible zip closes the back, and the dress is lined. A halter and a side split together mean this dress moves a lot, so wear a shoe you trust on grass. Hair up shows the neckline; hair down softens it, and both are correct. Bridesmaid duty in warm weather is the obvious home for it, and a garden party the week after is the second.
