Lizbeth Pink & Mauve Floral Maxi Dress

The Lizbeth Maxi Dress is a floor-length floral dress in pink and mauve, the two tones blending into a print that reads soft from a distance.

Pink and mauve sit close to each other on the colour wheel, so the floral has depth without contrast, and the dress comes across as one dusky shade until you are near enough to see the flowers. The maxi length gives the print room to run down the full skirt, and the long line suits the romantic mood of the colours.

A floral maxi dress in these tones is a wedding-guest standby, and it is just as easy at a garden party, a spring lunch or a holiday dinner. Nude or blush heels keep the colour unbroken; a gold sandal warms it. Hair loose suits the softness of the print, with a single pair of drop earrings. Keep the bag small and in a colour already in the flowers, and add a cream wrap if the evening turns cool.
