Instant evening presence

You walk into the room and feel taller before anyone has said a word. The sleek, high neckline draws the eye up to your face and shoulders, while the long printed skirt sweeps behind you with every step. It looks considered and confident, the dress of a woman who knows exactly what suits her. Statement earrings, a slick of lipstick and you are ready, with no need for a necklace or anything more.

Flow and freedom with every step

The fitted top and high waistband keep the dress neat and defined, then the skirt opens into a long, fluid A-line that swirls around your legs. The front slit gives you room to stride, climb steps and dance without gathering up your hem. Even though the dress is long and dramatic, you never feel trapped in it, and the flowing skirt keeps air moving on a warm evening. You can relax into the evening, knowing nothing needs adjusting.

Galas, evening weddings and summer parties

Choose this for the nights that deserve a proper long dress: a black-tie gala, an evening wedding reception, a summer ball or a smart anniversary dinner. Pair it with strappy heeled sandals and a small metallic clutch, and throw a wrap over your shoulders as the night cools. It also makes a memorable outfit for a cruise dinner or a milestone birthday party on a terrace. Wherever you wear it, it feels like an occasion.

Your questions about this piece

Sizes run from S (UK 8) to 2XL (UK 16), and the size guide gives the bust and length for each one in inches. The top is fitted, so compare your bust with the guide; if you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.

The slit opens at the front of the skirt and shows a flash of leg as you walk, without revealing too much when you stand still. It is there to give you freedom of movement in a long skirt.

Your order is prepared within 24 to 48 hours, then delivered in 8 to 15 days; costs and the free-delivery threshold are shown in your basket. You have 14 days from delivery to return it.

Polished, comfortable, in UK sizes

We choose pieces that look polished and feel comfortable from the first wear: boots for wet pavements, knits for chilly mornings, dresses for the days that matter.

Sizes are given in UK measurements, payment is secure, and if something is not quite right, you have 14 days to send it back.
