Emerald Breeze Dress

Feeling a bit playful? This dress is the sartorial equivalent of dancing barefoot at sunset with your best mates and a glass of something bubbly - all ruffles and movement, with a big sprinkle of bohemian insouciance. The tiered ruffles flirt with your knees, sashaying just as much as you want them to, while that elasticised waist pulls you gently in without cutting off any circulation. Because nobody looks good when they’re gasping for breath.

It’s the kind of silhouette that’s so effortlessly cool it probably listens to indie bands on vinyl. Pintucked striping and wide layered ruffles give this piece texture and volume without being stuffy, while that gathered V neckline hints at naughtiness without any risk of you spilling out at brunch.

Long, billowing sleeves keep things ethereal but practical, and the keyhole back with zip makes for easy slipping on (and off) without needing to dislocate a shoulder. And did we mention the fabric? It's 97% polyester with just enough elastane stretch to make moves easy-breezy. This dress feels and looks luxurious - a flattering number in solid, rich jewel tones with a subtle sheen. Wear it to lunch or a summer party or even just around the house when you fancy looking like an expensive free spirit who’s been kissed by sunlight.
