This fabulousness in floral print sweeps golden yellow flowers, soft sage and seafoam green foliage scattering across a warm cream background. The placement changes as it travels down the dress, so the larger blooms have plenty of space around them rather than forming one continuous all-over pattern.

The bodice has a softly open V neckline, finished with a short row of fabric-covered buttons and curved shaping beneath the bust. From there the dress falls into a long, fluid skirt with an easy line through the waist and hips. The long sleeves have gentle fullness before finishing in wide cuffs with covered button detailing, while the centre-back zip keeps the overall shape neat.

Try it with moss green sandals and amber jewellery, or bring out the cooler tones of the foliage with turquoise earrings and a soft teal bag. A cropped cardigan in paprika or embrace boho with a shawl when another layer is needed. Leather accessories add a more relaxed direction.

This shape works well if you like an A-line style definition around the upper body followed by more room through the waist and hips. The V neckline opens the line through the chest, while the long skirt gives plenty of movement through the lower half.
