Clementine Mini Dress - Cream Floral

Cream with a floral print is about as easy as a summer dress gets, and the Clementine Mini Dress does not complicate it. A soft V-neckline opens the top, and short puff sleeves sit at the shoulder with just enough volume to give the shape some lift. The floral print runs across a cream ground, small enough to read as pretty rather than bold. At the back there is a tie detail, and a side invisible zip handles the closing. The dress is lined. Puff sleeves and a mini hem put this firmly in daytime territory, which is where it is most useful. Wear it to a garden party, a baby shower, a birthday lunch, a holiday breakfast that runs long. A flat sandal keeps it relaxed and a low heel smartens it without changing its character. Add a basket bag and the outfit is finished.
