Tan and Black Printed Tiered Midi Dress

A midi dress in a tan and black sun print, cut to a relaxed fit and dropped into a tiered skirt.

The bodice is shirred and elasticised, and the shoulders are elasticised too, so the square neckline settles across the chest without needing to be fastened anywhere. Short sleeves finish in elasticised cuffs. Below the waist the skirt drops through tiers rather than falling in one line, which is what gives a loose dress its movement. The print repeats across the whole piece. It is unlined.

Everything about this is built for heat: unlined, loose through the body, and easy to pull on without a zip to think about. Wear it with flat sandals for a market morning or a day that ends at a beach, and add a light layer over the shoulders when the evening turns. The printed midi dress asks for nothing else, so keep the bag plain and the jewellery small.
