Black Floral Tiered Maxi Dress

A black floral maxi dress with long sleeves, cut to a regular fit and dropping into a tiered A-line skirt.

The neckline is a V overlay that fastens at the bust with a snap button clasp, so the front crosses over rather than meeting in the middle. Long sleeves end in an elasticised ruffle cuff. Through the middle, an elasticised waistband and belt loops carry a detachable waist tie, which means the waist can be marked or left loose. The floral print is large in scale. The dress is unlined.

A big print on a relaxed fit reads as an easy summer dress rather than a formal one, and the detachable tie is what lets it swing between the two. Wear it loose with flat sandals for a hot day, or tie the waist and add a low heel for dinner. The black floral maxi dress carries the pattern, so keep everything else quiet.
