    Romance with a confident edge

    Some dresses are pretty; this one makes you feel like the most elegant woman in the room. The cowl neckline drapes softly across the chest, the textured flowers catch the light, and the long skirt glides as you move. Wear your hair up with simple earrings and you look polished and romantic, without anything overdone. You feel graceful, a little daring and completely at ease, from the first toast to the final dance.

    An open back that turns heads

    The back is where the magic happens. Thin straps cross and lace over an open back, then tie at the waist, so you can adjust the fit while showing just the right amount of skin. The lining makes the dress feel smooth and secure, with no worry about anything showing through. The fitted bodice holds you neatly, and the skirt flares from the hips to give your legs room to walk and dance.

    Weddings, galas and summer balls

    Wear it as a guest at an evening wedding, to a charity gala, a summer ball or an anniversary dinner somewhere special. Strappy heels and a small clutch are all it needs. On a cooler night, drape a soft wrap over your shoulders until the dancing starts. It photographs beautifully from every angle, so expect to be asked for a picture by the dance floor, and to be glad you said yes.

    Your questions about this piece

    Which size should I choose?

    Use the size guide, which gives the bust, waist, hips and length of each size from XS (UK 6) to XL (UK 14). The bodice is fitted, so go by your bust and waist; the lace-up back offers a little room to adjust.

    What can I wear underneath?

    With the open back, a stick-on or low-back bra is the most discreet choice. The dress is fully lined, so nothing shows through the textured fabric.

    How long does delivery take, and can I return it?

    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.
