Michèle Monrose, Paris. Made in France. That label alone tells you what you are hold a  beautiful piece of fashion history. The print is bold navy and white: multi-directional geometric stripes arranged in large graphic blocks, with a white rose motif placed at the back that gives the whole thing an unexpected softness. The fabric has swish and swarthe with a slight drape, light against the body and beautifully fluid through the skirt. The dress has a self-tie pussy bow at the neckline, three-quarter sleeves with a gathered cuff, an elasticated waist that draws in with ease, and a full gathered skirt falling to a midi length.

Wear it as is with navy or white heeled sandals or, try it with red heeled mules and a red lip for a colour accent that leans into the graphic energy of the print. Espadrilles and a cane or straw bag bring it back to a relaxed summer afternoon. The navy and white palette is one of the most versatile in fashion and works across every season and occasion. The elasticated waist and generous skirt make this dress particularly suited to those who prefer ease through the hip rather than a fitted silhouette below the waist. The bodice drapes loosely over the top, so it works across a range of bust sizes. If you carry more volume through the middle or prefer not to have structure at the waist, the elastic gathers softly without pulling. The pussy bow and three-quarter sleeves keep the look polished from the top down.
