This vintage dress like a soft summer breeze in clothing form, with watery aqua blues and pale yellow blooms that read fresh, bright, and authentic vintage. The neckline sits wide and open, the sleeves are cut with an easy fit shape, and the bodice has that relaxed, tailored yet floaty drape that ultimately looks even more polished once the belt is in place.

The skirt is pleated for movement and comfort, finishing around the knee for that sweet spot between practical and pretty. It fastens with an original back zip, and the matching belt lets you choose your shape, gently defined at the waist or worn a touch looser for an easy line.

Styling suggestion? Lean into colour and pattern. Try neutral espadrilles with a sunflower-yellow bag. Add a simple cardi in tangerine or teal for cooler days, or layer a cropped jacket in orchid purple or white.

This shape is great if you like a softly defined waist with a skirt that gives your hips and thighs space to move. It also works well if you are a bit fuller through the bust and shoulders and want the bodice to sit comfortably without clinging. If you are a bit fuller through the hips than the top half, the structured shoulder line and belt help balance proportions while the pleats keep the skirt feeling light and easy.
