Hawaiian Halter Dresses
Halter dresses tie or fasten behind the neck and leave the shoulders bare, which makes them cool on a hot day. This page has empire criss cross halters, long halter dresses and drop waist halters for women, plus girls' halter dresses and baby sets.
Buying guide & FAQ
Three halter styles
The empire criss cross halter has a waist seam just under the bust and a skirt that flows from there. Tropical Garden and Tropical Fern come in regular and plus colorways, sized X-Small to 3X-Large.
The long halter dresses, like Jungle Experience and Windy Wonderland, work for an evening luau or a resort dinner. The drop waist halter has its waist seam lower, at the hip.
For girls
The girls' drop waist halter dresses, like Tiare Monstera, run from size 2 to 14, and baby halter 2-piece sets start at 6 months. For a beach wedding, the White Season girls' halter dress is white on white.
Sizing
Hawaiian brands don't share a size chart. If you're between sizes or trying a new label, measure the bust and length of a dress that fits you well and send them to jz@MauiShirts.com.
