The Habibi Halter Maxi Dress — named after the Arabic word for "beloved" — is where bold artisanal print meets the most elongating neckline in fashion. The halter silhouette draws a clean line from shoulder to floor, creating a statuesque profile that photographs beautifully from every angle. Part of our Fes Fantasy collection, designed by Project Runway designer Sandhya Garg.
The print is drawn from the geometric grammar of Moroccan zellij — the handcut tilework found on the walls of Fes medina riads and the courtyards of the Bou Inania madrasa. Sandhya spent time studying these patterns and translated them into a wearable textile: the repeating geometric forms are recoloured for the body, scaled for movement rather than architecture, and printed at her own facility on the Fes Fantasy collection fabric. The result is a print that has cultural grounding — not a generic 'geometric pattern' but a specific reference to a specific tradition — which is why it reads as distinctive rather than decorative.
Perfect For
- Formal Events: The halter neckline adds inherent sophistication
- Wedding Guest: Bold enough to stand out, elegant enough for any dress code
- Resort Evenings: The open shoulder is ideal for warm-weather celebrations
- Mother of the Bride: Modern, flattering, and unforgettable

Is the Habibi dress true to size?
Yes — it runs true to size. The cotton bodice has a structured fit; check your bust measurement against the size chart before ordering. XS and S are currently sold out; custom sizing is available for all measurements.
Is the open back secure, or does it rely on the halter tie?
The front straps criss-cross at teh back and tie at the waist level, creating a beautiful style combined with a conceal zipper on center back.
Is the skirt section fully lined and opaque?
Yes — the dress has a 100% cotton full lining throughout. The viscose skirt section is lined and opaque; no slip is required.
Is this appropriate for black-tie or formal evening events?
Yes. The floor-length halter silhouette, the Moroccan geometric print, and the structured cotton bodice all read as formal occasion wear. For black-tie, pair with gold or metallic heeled sandals, chandelier earrings, and a minimal clutch. The halter neckline allows for a statement earring without necklace competition.
What is the fabric construction of this dress?
The Habibi has a mixed construction: a structured 100% cotton bodice, a flowing luxury viscose maxi skirt, and a full 100% cotton lining. This means the bodice holds its shape without boning while the skirt creates floor-length drape. Dry cleaning is recommended to care for both sections safely.
What is the Fes Fantasy collection?
The Fes Fantasy collection is a Sandhya Garg design series inspired by the architecture, tilework, and colour traditions of Fes, Morocco. Each print in the collection draws from specific Moroccan visual references — geometric zellij tilework, riad courtyard patterns, and the colour palettes of the medina. The Habibi is one of the collection's signature pieces.
Will this dress be restocked in XS and S?
Restocking is not guaranteed. Like all Sandhya Garg designs, the Habibi is limited-production. If XS or S is required, custom sizing is the most reliable option. Email labelsandhyagarg@gmail.com with your measurements.

Answer- The print of the dress is exclusively designed by Sandhya herself.

We pride ourselves in supporting the Indian people (Sandhya herself comes from India and grew up around craft) at this very unique craft. The beauty of our fabrics and embellishments lie in their uniqueness and there may be slight variations in color and design. Because these pieces are 100 percent made by hand, slight variations in the placement of the patterns are to be expected (and, we think, part of the charm!)
