Umgee Floral Tiered Midi Dress with Puff Sleeves

Some dresses take a season to grow on you and some make sense the moment you see them. This one belongs to the second group. A soft floral runs across a navy mix ground, puff sleeves lift the shoulders into something gently vintage, and the skirt drops away in tiers that keep the whole thing moving. It is romantic without tipping into fancy dress.

The fabric is 80% Rayon and 20% Nylon with no stretch, and the body is lined. Rayon is what gives the tiers their weight and swing: it falls rather than floats, so the layers separate properly as you walk instead of bunching. Because there is no give in the fibre, the fit comes from the cut, which runs relaxed through the body. Sizes span S to L, with the bust from 35 to 40 inches, the waist from 27 to 32 inches and the hip from 35 to 41 inches across the range.

It is built for warm weather and the occasions that come with it. Strappy sandals and bare legs make it a brunch dress, woven wedges lift it for a garden party, and plain white sneakers pull it back down to earth for a market or a long afternoon out. A denim jacket over the shoulders covers a cooler evening. Because the print and the tiers are already doing plenty, keep the bag simple and the jewelry small.
