With a fit and flare silhouette and a feminine floral print, this dress is simply perfect for warm-weather occasions. It is made from quality silk and is lined for comfort. The long sleeves add to its elegant appeal. Style with nude slingback heels and a refined jewellery.
This ivory, blue and yellow floral dress is both vibrant and sophisticated. It is made from a soft linen material to ensure maximum comfort and ease through the warmer months, and it has a detachable matching belt for versatile styling options.
This pale blue colour feels refined yet luxurious, and I could see it pairing perfectly with soft spring neutrals such as ecru or buttery yellow. It is designed with a subtly structured crepe, and is fully lined too to ensure comfort and functionality. Style with the Lily Leather Slingbacks and minimal jewellery for the ultimate impact.
A puff sleeve dress remains one of my favourite dress styles, offering a playful, flattering finish that's hard to beat. The Taylor dress is almost made for outdoor weddings, or garden parties, and it's also made from breathable linen too, making it ideal for the warmer days ahead too. Pair with contrasting deep burgundy's or go light with ecru accessories.

Plus, it flares out at the waist in the most flattering way. Team with ecru slingback heels and the Catherine Leather Wristlet.
Finished with a sparkly embellished neckline, this blouse will see you through seasons of wear, from the warmer months well into autumn/winter. Style with the matching wide leg Delora Trouser and some slingback heels in midnight blue.
