• Diagonal retro stripe print across a semi-sheer mesh construction, giving the dress a distinctly seventies-inflected character
• Crew neckline with long sleeves for a covered-up silhouette that lets the print do the talking
• Midi length with a gently flared skirt that moves well and flatters a range of heights
• Fitted bodice transitions into a softly swinging skirt, creating shape without restriction
• Machine washable mesh fabric - easy to care for and built for repeat wear

The diagonal stripe does something a straight print never quite manages - it draws the eye across the body rather than down it, and on a midi silhouette like this, the effect is considered rather than loud. The mesh construction keeps it light, while the long sleeves and crew neck give it a certain restraint that stops it reading as purely occasion wear. This is a dress that works just as well at a weekend gallery visit or a casual dinner as it does at a family gathering or an outdoor event. The model wears it with chunky black knee-high boots, which ground the retro print and add a contemporary edge - a flat boot or a simple leather trainer would work equally well for a more relaxed take. Layer a fine-knit roll-neck underneath as the season cools, or wear it as seen for an effortless standalone look.
