• Oversized dogtooth print across a woven fabric, scaled up for a bold, graphic effect that feels thoroughly modern
• Fully shirred bodice with elasticated smocking that defines the waist and adds texture against the printed fabric
• Long, voluminous sleeves with a relaxed, billowing silhouette that balances the fitted bodice
• Crew neckline keeps the look refined while the midi length adds an effortless, considered proportion
• Centre back length of 125cm in a UK size 10, with a skirt that falls with easy, unstructured movement

The shirred bodice does the work here - it cinches without trying, letting the volume of the sleeves and the sweep of the midi skirt do the rest. The oversized dogtooth print reads as a statement without needing anything else to compete with it. Wear it as shown, bare-footed or with strappy heeled sandals and minimal jewellery for an evening out - drinks, dinner, or anywhere the occasion calls for something that looks considered rather than constructed. A sleek pointed-toe heel and a small structured bag keep it sharp for a night out in the city, while flat ankle boots soften it for something more relaxed. The long sleeves mean it transitions well into cooler evenings without the need for a layer, making it a reliable choice from early autumn through to winter gatherings. Style the hair loosely and let the print lead.
