Freesia Midi Dress - Blue Red Floral

Warm-weather dressing does not get much simpler than the Freesia Midi Dress: a floral print in blue and red, a midi hem, and straps you set yourself. The V-neckline is framed with a lace trim, which is the one decorative touch on an otherwise straightforward dress. Thin straps adjust at the shoulder. Through the middle, an elasticised waistband does the shaping, and a tie sits on top of it as detail rather than function — it is there to be seen, not relied on. The floral print runs throughout, and the dress is lined. An elasticised waist is the reason this one holds up over a long day: it moves when you do, and nothing needs loosening after lunch. Wear it to a garden party, a summer christening, a holiday dinner outdoors. Flat sandals and a woven bag while it is bright, a wedge or a low heel once the evening cools.
