Hobi Midi Dress - Butter Yellow

Butter yellow is the softest way to wear a bright colour, and the Hobi Midi Dress makes the case for it without raising its voice. The dress is satin, and that matters more here than it would in a darker shade. Satin holds a sheen that keeps a pale yellow from washing out under artificial light — the same colour in a matte fabric tends to lose itself by evening. A V-neckline opens the top, and the hem lands at midi length, which is the most useful length a dress can have. Pale and shining is a combination that suits daylight events and evening ones equally, which is rare. Wear it to a spring wedding, a christening, a birthday lunch, a summer evening dinner. Gold jewellery warms the yellow; silver sharpens it. A nude or tan heel keeps the line long and lets the colour lead.
