Larkey Maxi Dress - Everlyn Floral

Large florals, floor length, no sleeves: the Larkey Maxi Dress states its case early and does not revise it.

The neckline is square and elasticised, so it gives where a rigid edge would gap, and the straps tie closed at the shoulder for a fit you set rather than accept. There are no sleeves at all. The print is a large floral, scaled up across the linen instead of scattered small over it. The dress is unlined, which keeps the whole thing light in the hand and lighter still on.

An unlined maxi is a warm-weather proposition, so treat it as one: a garden party, a long weekend somewhere hot, an afternoon with no intention of ending early. Flat sandals and a small bag are the whole styling brief. The print is the outfit and everything else is logistics.
