Floral Gathered Neckline Midi Dress in Dark Navy

This is the dress that makes a weekday feel a little softer. A painterly floral print scatters across a deep navy ground, the neckline is gathered and smocked so it sits gently across the shoulders, and the sleeves finish just short of the wrist with a ruffled cuff. Nothing about it is loud, and that is exactly why it works.

It is made from 100% polyester that stays light and fluid, and the body is not lined. The fabric is slightly stretchy, and the smocking through the neckline does the fitting for you, so there is nothing to zip or button. The skirt is tiered and falls full to mid calf, which is where all that movement comes from when you walk.

Wear it with white ankle boots for a look with a little edge, or flat sandals and a straw bag when the day is simply hot. A denim jacket handles the cool part of an evening, and a slim belt at the natural waist will define the shape if the loose fit is not what you want that day. It is a good travel dress too, because it shakes out of a bag and moves straight on to whatever is next.
