Neckline: round neck.

Sleeves: short sleeves.

Waist: raised seam under the bust.

Pockets: side pockets.

Neat, easy and ready in seconds

You know the feeling: a full day ahead, no time to plan an outfit. This dress takes the decision away. Pull it on, add sandals and a necklace, and you look neat and pleasantly put together for the school run, the office or a coffee in town. Nothing to tuck, nothing to adjust, nothing to think about. You get on with your day feeling comfortable, tidy and very much yourself.

Room to breathe, pockets to use

The skirt gathers gently from just under the bust and falls loosely, so there is plenty of room around your middle and nothing pulls when you sit down. The short sleeves cover the tops of your arms without feeling hot. And the pockets are real ones, deep enough for your phone and keys, so you can leave the handbag at home and walk with your hands tucked in. It is comfort you will notice by the end of the day.

Weekend markets and garden afternoons

Saturday morning at the farmers' market with a basket on your arm, a long lunch in a friend's garden, an afternoon pottering round a country town: this dress fits every slow summer weekend. In spring, wear it with a denim jacket and trainers; in July, flat sandals and a straw hat. When it turns cooler, add tights, ankle boots and a cardigan and keep wearing it well into autumn. It earns its place all year.

Your questions about this piece

Sizes run from S (UK 8) to 2XL (UK 16), and the size guide gives the bust and length of each one in cm and inches. The cut is loose and gathered, so your usual UK size is a good starting point.

Yes, there is a pocket on each side, set into the seams, deep enough for a phone or keys.

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.
