MANNING CARTELL PROVENCE HALTER DRESS

Crafted from soft cotton in a rich cognac - a warm, deep brown with a reddish tone that works beautifully across a wide range of skin tones - this maxi dress brings together relaxed ease and genuine elegance. A deep U-shaped ruched neckline and halter-style open back create a striking silhouette designed to be worn without a bra, with an adjustable tie at the back for a customised fit. The full gathered skirt with symmetrical outward tucks adds volume and movement, so the dress feels as good to wear across a full day as it looks. The practical side pockets are a rare and welcome feature in a dress this elegant.

The cognac colourway is versatile and warm - it photographs exceptionally well in natural daylight and is particularly stunning at outdoor events, garden weddings and long lunches. It pairs naturally with nude, tan or metallic accessories.

The cotton construction means this dress breathes and moves comfortably in warm weather - a genuinely practical choice for a South Coast summer event as well as a beautiful one.
