Camellia Midi Dress - White

Broderie anglaise is the print that is not printed — the pattern is cut into the fabric itself — and the Camellia Midi Dress uses it as its whole design. The embroidered overlay carries across the dress, giving a plain white something to catch the eye without adding a single colour. A V overlay neckline opens the top, short sleeves sit at the shoulder, and the skirt is cut A-line so it moves away from the body as you walk. An invisible side zip closes it, and the dress is lined. The cotton keeps it breathable. White cotton with cut-out embroidery is summer dressing at its most classic. It suits a garden party, a christening, a holiday lunch, a daytime wedding. Tan or nude accessories are the obvious pairing, gold jewellery warms it, and a flat sandal is entirely enough.
