Sleeveless Lace Trim Midi Dress

Lace trim is a small detail that changes the whole register of a dress. On a plain sleeveless midi it would be simple and useful. With lace running along the edges, it becomes something you would happily wear to an event. And then there are pockets, which is the detail that makes you actually keep it.

Made from 100% polyester with a slightly stretchy hand, the fabric moves comfortably and the midi length falls between 46.5 inches and 48.4 inches depending on your size. The body is not lined, so consider what you wear beneath it, particularly in the lighter colours. The sleeveless cut keeps the shoulders and arms free, which is exactly what you want in warm weather, and the lace detailing adds softness without adding weight. Six colours are on offer: white, black, blue, green, red and yellow. Sizes run S through 3XL.

Wear it with flat sandals and a straw bag for a summer afternoon, or step it up with heeled sandals and gold jewellery for a wedding you are attending or a dinner outdoors. A denim jacket or a light cardigan handles the shoulders when the evening cools. White and black are the versatile picks; red and yellow will make the dress the point of the outfit. Because the lace already provides the decoration, keep accessories restrained and let the trim do its job. And use the pockets, since that is why they are there.
