71% rayon, 26% nylon, 3% spandex thick stretch crepe
material_behavior
Thick, opaque stretch crepe with a smooth matte finish that holds a column silhouette
comfort
Halter tension meets at a single knot; in heavier crepe the knot can become noticeable at the nape within an hour or two
comfort
Self-tie halter is highly adjustable for torso length and neckline height
fit_and_sizing
Use a fitting sequence: wear intended support, set bodice at ribcage or natural waist, close back zip, tie high on nape, then movement-test
bra_compatibility
Closed back with hidden zip below the tie; strapless, adhesive, or convertible halter bra works, standard straps will show
construction
Self-tie halter neck, wide straps, hidden back zip, and center-back seam
construction
Seam detailing enhances the silhouette; vertical seams run down the skirt to create a column line
construction
Right-side thigh-high slit adds stride and reveals leg
care_instructions
Care guidance conflicts: retailer lists machine wash (no bleach, no tumble dry, iron with or without steam); Arti Gogna's note for the same crepe advises hand wash cold or dry clean
durability
Rayon-heavy crepe is vulnerable to heat and tumbling; line drying and cool ironing preserve finish
styling
Halter styling leaves shoulders and upper back exposed; style with hair up, earrings over necklaces, and open-front layers
color
Chocolate/Espresso reads as a very dark brown, nearly black in photos
suitable_uses
Heavier crepe and floor-length column make this more evening/occasion than breezy daytime; tie halter comfort tradeoff is more noticeable in heavier fabric
value
275 CAD for a made-in-Montreal thick stretch crepe maxi, with no extended-size surcharge
comparison
Compared with fixed-strap halters, the self-tie is more adjustable for torso length but concentrates tension at one knot
