Manning Cartell Provence Halter Dress
If you are looking to hire a designer dress for a wedding, long lunch or special occasion, the Provence Halter Dress from Manning Cartell is a beautifully considered option.
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.
Manning Cartell is one of Australia's most respected designer labels, known for considered tailoring, quality fabrication and pieces that balance femininity with a strong design point of view. Designed and made in Australia.

Care & Handling
When your beautiful Dresscode hire arrives, you'll find a fresh pair of white cotton gloves in the package. We ask that you use these when trying on your dress - or any additional pieces that may not be the right fit - to keep each garment fresh and beautiful for every wearer. This is our way of taking extra special care of our modern wardrobe.
There's no need to clean or launder your pieces before returning them. Simply place everything back in its original packaging, attach the prepaid return label and leave the rest to us. All professional cleaning is handled by Dresscode on return and is included in your hire price.
