Sometimes elegance is as simple as the right colour and the right cut. This authentic vintage dress understands both.

Crafted in a teal jersey with a fluid drape, the fabric moves beautifully and holds its shape without effort. The V-neckline flatters the collarbone, while a button-front bodice provides structure. Long sleeves with button cuffs add polish, and the self-tie belt cinches at the natural waist, offering you complete control over fit and definition.

The skirt flares gently from the waist in an A-line shape, creating movement and balance. This silhouette works beautifully whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs, the defined waist and flowing skirt providing elegant proportion.

Made in Britain, this is quality jersey at its best: easy care, comfortable, and ready to work across your wardrobe. Pair it with boots and a blazer for work, or add heels and gold or silver jewellery for an elegant evening look.

The kind of dress you reach for again and again. Timeless, versatile, and effortlessly wearable.
