This scarlet maxi dress moves in a single unbroken sweep, cut from an easy care fabric that keeps its shape through wear. The bodice is built from a series of chevron seams, each one meeting at a sharp point down the centre front and again at the low V of the back, framing the neckline rather than filling it. Long sleeves taper smoothly to the wrist keeping the line clean from shoulder to cuff. Below the waist, the skirt opens into a full circle, held closed at the back by a concealed zip, so the fabric has room to fall and swing rather than sit flat.

The fitted waist gives shape through the middle before the skirt releases fully. The V neckline front and back means it can easily carry either statement or simple jewellery. The full skirt suits dancing, walking and sitting just as nicely, and the colour is pure statement of confidence from across a room, no coat or wrap required to complete the look.
