Minka Maxi Dress - White/Multi Floral

Give a print enough length and it stops being decoration and starts being the dress. That is what happens with the Minka Maxi Dress. The floral works in several colours across a white ground, so the pattern has contrast in it rather than sitting tonal, and the maxi hem gives it an uninterrupted run from top to floor. White underneath keeps the whole thing bright instead of heavy, which is the difference between a floral that feels like summer and one that feels like a curtain. A busy print settles the rest of the outfit for you, which is the quiet advantage of a dress like this. Pull one shade out of the pattern for the shoe or the bag and leave everything else alone. It works for a garden wedding, a holiday dinner, a long lunch outdoors. Flat sandals in daylight, a wedge once the evening starts.
