Edwina Shirred Frill Long Sleeve Midi Dress - Black Ditsy Floral

A ditsy floral on black is the print that carries a dress through a whole year rather than one season, and the Edwina Shirred Frill Long Sleeve Midi Dress is cut to make the most of it. The bodice is shirred, which lets the dress fit closely without a zip having to do the work — it gives exactly where the body does. A round ruffle neckline frames the shoulders, and ruffle detailing carries that idea on through the dress. Long sleeves finish at an elasticised cuff, and the back opens at the neck with a button close. The top is unlined while the skirt is lined, so the weight sits where it is actually useful. Midi length with long sleeves makes this a genuinely three-season dress. Boots and a cropped jacket in spring, bare legs and a sandal in summer, tights and a coat once it turns.
