A herringbone style scratch print runs diagonally across this dress in charcoal and cream, broken by a mosaic tile print panel that runs the full length of the front bodice and repeats at the cuffs and hem. The neckline ties into a soft bow at the front, and the dress fastens with a concealed zip at the centre back. Shoulders are gently gathered into the yoke, with long sleeves finishing in button cuffs. The soft fabric and chevron print combined with the neckline are serious nods to the typical of dressing through the 1970s, when this kind of textured, graphic print was everywhere.

If you like a dress with soft definition through the shoulders and room to move below, this one will suit you well. Wear it with knee boots and tights for a polished look, or flats and a blazer to elevate a daily office look. Keep accessories vertical accentuating the centrepiece in pale rose or silver.
