Elegant, easy and quietly artistic

You want to look elegant at a summer occasion without feeling overdressed or overheated. This dress does both. The watercolour print looks like something an artist painted just for you, and the long skirt moves gracefully as you walk. You feel fresh and composed, the woman at the gathering who seems to have got it exactly right without trying. Every time you move, the colours seem to shift and settle again, softly, like water.

A waist you can tie your way

The tie belt lets you decide how much shape you want: snug for a defined waist, looser for a relaxed day. The wrap-effect V-neck lies smoothly across the bust, and the short sleeves cover the tops of your arms while letting the air move. The ultra-light fabric flows away from the body, so the skirt never clings to your legs, even on the warmest afternoon. You stay cool and comfortable from the first toast to the last dance.

Garden parties and summer weddings

Wear it to a summer wedding, a christening, a garden party or a long lunch on a terrace by the sea. With flat sandals and a small bag it is easy for daytime; with heeled sandals and statement earrings it moves into the evening. On holiday it packs flat and looks as good at a harbour supper as it does at the hotel breakfast. One dress, the whole summer covered.

Your questions about this piece

Sizes run from S (UK 8) to 2XL (UK 16); the size guide gives the bust, waist, shoulder width and length for each, in cm and inches. Choose by your bust measurement, as the tie belt adjusts the waist.

It is a maxi, from 140.5 cm (55.3 in) in S to 146.5 cm (57.7 in) in 2XL, so it falls to the ankle on most women. Flat sandals keep it just off the floor.

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.
