    Description

    Simple, smart and wonderfully easy. This shift dress has a high neckline softly gathered at the yoke and cape-style sleeves that drape over your arms, then falls straight and loose to just around the knee. It skims rather than clings and needs no belt. Add gold bangles and a clutch, and you have an outfit in under a minute.

    Neckline: high round neck, gathered at the yoke.

    Sleeves: cape-style, draping over the arms.

    Fit: loose, straight shift.

    Fastening: none, pulls on.

    Length: around the knee, 85 to 89 cm (33.5 to 35.0 in) depending on size.

    Smart in seconds, every time

    Some mornings you have no time and no patience for outfit planning. This dress answers both. Slip it on, add a pair of bangles and a clutch, and you look polished and modern straight away. The high neckline gives it a clean, graphic shape that frames your face, while the simple line lets you get on with your day. You feel chic and calm, the kind of woman who always seems to have it together.

    Draped, loose and never clingy

    The cut falls straight from the shoulders and skims the body, so nothing pulls across your tummy or hips. The cape-style sleeves drape softly over the tops of your arms, covering them while letting air move around you. There is no waistband and nothing tight anywhere. It moves gently as you walk, sits comfortably at a desk or a dinner table, and feels light on warm days. You simply forget you have it on.

    Dinners, gallery visits and evenings out

    This is the dress for a dinner with friends, a gallery opening, a theatre trip or drinks after work. Pair it with heeled sandals and gold jewellery for the evening, or with smart flat mules for a day in town. On cooler nights, a tailored blazer over the top keeps the clean line. It folds into a weekend bag easily, so it comes on every city break. One dress, endless plans, no fuss at all.

    Your questions about this piece

    Which size should I choose?

    Sizes run from S (UK 8) to 2XL (UK 16); the size guide gives the bust and length for each one, in cm and inches. The cut is loose, so most women take their usual size; choose the smaller of two sizes if you prefer a neater drape.

    Does it have a V-neck?

    No, it has a high round neckline gathered softly at the yoke, as you can see on the photos. It gives a clean, modern shape and pairs well with a bold earring.

    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.
