Plum-coloured fitted maxi dress with a cowl neckline – Holly

This plum-coloured, fitted maxi dress with a halter neckline – the ‘Holly’ style – accentuates the waist and hips, whilst the softly draping neckline beautifully highlights the shoulders and collarbones. It’s the perfect choice for a wedding, a school prom or an evening ball, if you prefer fitted outfits without excessive embellishments.

The corset-style top with vertical stitching clearly defines the waist. The draping around the tummy and hips subtly softens the silhouette, whilst the high slit reveals the leg as you walk. The long skirt, which flares slightly towards the hem, balances the fitted top and gives the whole outfit elegant proportions.

The plum shade and the fabric’s delicate sheen mean that Holly catches the eye with its colour and cut alone. Pair it with longer earrings and a simple bracelet, leaving the neckline free of a necklace — this will ensure the draping is fully visible.
