Kathleen Maxi Dress - Light Beige/Green Floral

A round neck, short sleeves and one cut out at the front: the Kathleen Maxi Dress is covered up everywhere except the single place it is not.

The neckline is round and deliberately plain. Short sleeves gather into elasticised cuffs. At the front a cut out is held closed with a tie, which is the dress's only deliberate interruption. The skirt runs A-line to the floor, an invisible zip with a hook and eye clasp closes the back, and the floral print covers the rayon. It is lined.

Light beige and green at maxi length reads as garden rather than evening, so use it there: an outdoor wedding, a long lunch, a holiday day that keeps going after the food is finished. Flat sandals and a small bag. Draw the cut out as closed or as open as the occasion deserves.
