<-h2->A-line dresses that skim the hip<-h2-> The A-line dress has outlived every silhouette that tried to replace it. Our edit fits through the shoulder and waist then falls away from the hip, in mini, midi and maxi lengths, across cotton poplin, soft jersey, denim and print. A denim A-line midi with a leather-look belt, a flat boot and gold hoops is the Saturday version, easy enough for a gallery and lunch afterwards. Take a black jersey one with a heeled sandal, a slim chain and a clutch to a summer party, and the shape does the work while you enjoy yourself. Print suits a christening or a garden wedding, worn with a fine cardigan over the shoulders and a woven bag. Fabric with body keeps the line clean, so anything too thin loses the shape by mid-afternoon. Where the waist seam sits decides the proportion, and that is worth trying before you commit. Cotton, denim, jersey and print, the A-line runs through every length we make.
