    Effortless glamour in one piece

    Some dresses need a whole outfit around them. This one only needs you. The crossed neckline draws the eye to your shoulders and face, the contrast band gives a crisp, modern finish, and the long skirt makes you look tall and relaxed. You feel confident and quietly glamorous, the woman on holiday who always seems to have packed exactly the right thing, even if she only took one bag. It really is that easy.

    Cool, loose and easy to move in

    The skirt falls in a relaxed A-line from the bust, so the dress floats around you instead of clinging. The open back lets the air in when the afternoon heats up, and the halter neck sits securely so you are not forever adjusting straps. You can stroll the promenade, sit on a harbour wall or climb into a boat without thinking twice. It is the definition of a dress you forget you are wearing.

    Beach walks and holiday brunches

    Picture a late breakfast on a sunny terrace, a walk along the beach with a straw hat and a basket, then an aperitif as the sun goes down. This dress carries you from one to the next. Wear it with flat sandals by day and add gold jewellery for dinner. At home, it is just as good for a summer barbecue or a lazy garden lunch with friends. It quickly becomes the dress you pack first.

    Your questions about this piece

    Which size should I choose?

    Sizes run from S (UK 8) to 3XL (UK 18), and the size guide gives the bust, waist and length of each one in cm and inches. The skirt is loose, so choose by your bust and pick the larger size if you are in between.

    Can I wear a bra with it?

    The halter neck and open back leave the shoulders and upper back bare, so a strapless or low-back bra, or adhesive cups, work best.

    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.
