The Tavi Cross Back Halter Maxi Dress arrives in a warm tangerine daisy print and does something most maxi dresses don't - it actually has an interesting back. Cross halter straps form an architectural X across the open back, closing with a self-tie at the waist and finished with delicate lace trim at the neckline. In a lyocell, nylon, and linen blend, it skims the body in a clean bodycon line from neckline to a straight maxi hem - the kind of dress you put on and don't need to think about again all evening.

Key Features

• Cross Back Halter Straps - The signature detail of this dress: two halter straps cross at the open back and tie at the waist, creating a clean geometric back view that works as hard as the front. The back is fully open, fully intentional.
• Lace Trim at Neckline and Waist Tie - A crochet lace trim runs along the neckline and echoes again at the waist tie, adding a soft handcraft contrast against the daisy print fabric without competing with it.
• Lyocell, Nylon, and Linen Blend - The shell fabric combines lyocell drape, nylon recovery, and linen texture in one - it hangs beautifully, doesn't wrinkle badly on warm days, and has a natural warmth in the tangerine colorway.
• Fully Lined, Bodycon Fit - The dress is fully lined in a polyester-spandex fabric that smooths the silhouette. The bodycon cut fits close without gripping - it moves when you move.
• All-Over Daisy Floral Print - Small daisy motifs scatter across the tangerine ground - not an overpowering print, but a warm and grounded one that carries through spring and summer evenings without reading as too casual or too loud.

Why This Piece Is Different

The cross-back halter strap is the detail that sets this dress apart - it's a construction choice, not a shortcut, and the lace trim at the tie and neckline shows the same intention throughout. These styles are chosen from homegrown American designers making in small batches - Emory Park, the independent USA designer behind this dress, works in limited runs where these construction details are actually considered. That's what you're wearing when you put this on.

Style It Three Ways

Evening Out or Dinner Date
Wear the dress as-is with strappy heeled sandals in a natural tan or gold. A small beaded clutch, gold hoops, and a warm gloss. The tangerine and daisy print is vivid enough that nothing else needs to compete.

Rooftop Party or Art Opening
Layer a white oversized linen shirt loose over the dress - just one or two buttons done - as a light layer for the evening chill. Slide-on block heels and a simple woven bag. The cross back peeks through beautifully as the shirt slips off the shoulder.

Afternoon into Evening, City Break
Pair with white flat mules and a straw tote for an afternoon of walking and shopping. Switch to heeled sandals as the evening picks up. The lace trim and open back mean this dress transitions with ease.

FAQs

How does the Tavi Cross Back Halter Maxi Dress fit?

The dress runs true to size in a bodycon silhouette. The halter straps and waist tie are both adjustable, so you can customise how it sits on your frame. The lining has a small amount of spandex stretch, which helps the fit feel smooth rather than tight.

What is the fabric like and how do I care for it?

The shell is a lyocell, nylon, and linen blend - it has a natural drape and warmth with a slight texture from the linen. The lining is polyester with spandex. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry to maintain the print and lace trim detail.

How do I style the Tavi Cross Back Halter Maxi Dress?

The open cross back and lace trim are the focal points - keep the rest of the look simple. Strappy heeled sandals and a small bag are all you need. The tangerine daisy print works well against neutral accessories in tan, gold, or white.
