Floral Print Layered Ruffle Dress

Blush pink and a floral print is a soft combination, and the ruffles lean into it rather than fighting it. The skirt is tiered so the fabric falls in layers, and there is a belt to pull the middle in and stop the whole thing from reading shapeless. Buttons run through the front, which gives the dress a line to follow from top to hem.

The fabric is 100% polyester with a slight stretch, and the body is not lined. Sizes run S to L. The bust measures 38.6 inches at S, 40.2 at M and 41.7 at L, with the length moving from 32.3 to 33.1 inches. The sleeves are long, between 24.8 and 25.6 inches, so this is a dress with coverage on the arm even though the skirt is short. That combination is what makes it work in spring as well as high summer.

Ankle boots and this dress is a good autumn answer, and flat sandals take it back to summer without any trouble. If you want the waist sharper, tighten the belt and let the tiers do the rest. Because the print is soft and the colour is pale, a tan or cream accessory keeps everything in the same register, while a black boot gives it a harder edge if that is more your thing.
