Melville Maxi Dress is a black lace dress with an inner lining and zip for a secure fit. The halter neckline frames the shoulders, while the leg split gives the maxi skirt room to move as you walk. The sleeveless cut keeps the upper frame open and lets the neckline take focus. For formal plans, the lined lace construction and mermaid shape feel measured rather than overly sweet.
