Garden Party Dresses

<-h2->Garden party dresses in floral and pastel<-h2-> There is a specific kind of confidence to a garden party dress in full summer. Our selection of garden party dresses moves through bold florals, soft pastels and clean white, across midi and maxi lengths in cotton, linen blend and lighter woven fabrics that move with the heat rather than fight it. This is dressing for long afternoons: grass underfoot, a glass in hand, nobody rushing. She does not dress for the photograph, she dresses for the day, which is why the pieces here favour a considered print and a length that stays elegant on uneven ground. Tiered skirts, square necklines, puff sleeves and open backs give a range of moods within one palette, and the lighter separates in this collection sit easily alongside the dresses if she would rather build than choose. Cotton in the morning, something with a sheen by early evening. Nothing here is saved for a single date in the diary. This is summer dressing that outlives its invitation.
