You button it up on a slow Saturday and the whole day softens

The little rounded doll collar sits neat at your throat, a half placket of buttons runs down to a self tie that gathers the waist, and the skirt falls away in a painterly wash of flowers. It reads like something found in a vintage shop, not pulled from a delivery box.

It is cut loose and easy from a lightweight polyester that drapes rather than clings, with three quarter sleeves and an A line midi skirt that moves when you do. The print is a soft focus floral, painted edge to edge, so the flowers wrap the whole dress instead of sitting as one small motif.

Key Benefits

• Airy midi cut The A line skirt sits at mid calf and swishes with a light polyester drape that does not cling in the heat.

Best for: cottage core afternoons, garden lunches, teachers and anyone who reaches for a soft dress over jeans.

Why It Works

The loose cut and self tie do the flattering for you across the whole size run, while the doll collar keeps it looking considered rather than shapeless. The polyester is the wrinkle resistant kind, so it hangs out overnight and is ready to wear again without an iron.

How It Fits Your Routine

On the palest prints the light polyester is a little sheer, so a nude slip underneath keeps it comfortable in daylight and adds a touch of weight to the drape.

Style it with flat sandals and a straw bag for summer, then move it into autumn over a fine roll neck with ankle boots and the same tie waist.

It machine washes cool and hangs out its own creases, so the print stays soft and the collar keeps its shape wash after wash.
