Navy Floral Tiered Maxi Dress

A navy floral maxi dress with long sleeves, a V neckline and a skirt built from tiered panels.

The neckline is an overlay V, so the front crosses rather than meeting in the middle. Long sleeves finish in elasticised cuffs at the wrist. An elasticised waist runs through the middle with belt loops carrying a detachable waist tie, which means the waist can be marked, moved or left out entirely. The skirt is panelled and tiered, and the navy floral print runs across all of it. The dress is unlined.

A tiered skirt is made to move, and this one has enough length to show it. Tie the waist and add a heel for a wedding; leave it loose with flat sandals for a warm afternoon. Being unlined keeps it light on a long day. Keep everything else plain and let the navy floral maxi dress carry the pattern by itself.
