Ellery Midi Dress - Red Floral

Red florals at a large scale, puff sleeves, and a waist tie that lifts out: the Ellery Midi Dress is two dresses depending on the day.

The neckline drops into a V. Short puff sleeves gather into elasticised cuffs at the arm. Belt loops sit at the waist and the tie threaded through them is removable, so the waist can be marked or ignored entirely. The skirt is cut A-line below it. An invisible back zip with a hook and eye close finishes the dress, and it is lined.

Midi length makes a print this size wearable in daylight, which is not something large florals always manage: a wedding, a lunch, an afternoon party. A low heel, a small bag, no second pattern anywhere. Tie the waist when you want a shape and drop the tie when you want the room.
