Pauline Long Sleeve Maxi Dress - Pastel Paisley

Paisley in pastels is a gentler version of a print that can easily go loud, and the Pauline Long Sleeve Maxi Dress keeps it firmly on the elegant side. A square neckline frames the top of the dress, with a thin halter tie closing above it — an unusual pairing that gives the shape both structure and a little softness. Long sleeves finish at elasticised cuffs. The satin has a soft feel rather than a hard shine, the paisley floral print runs the full floor length, and a back invisible zip closes it. The dress is lined. Long sleeves with a maxi hem make this one of the more covered dresses in the wardrobe, which is exactly why it works for occasions with a formal edge. A spring wedding, a christening, a milestone lunch. Keep jewellery small and let the print speak.
