• Draped cowl neckline that sits softly across the chest - the kind of neckline that does all the work without trying too hard.
• Thin adjustable shoulder straps and an open, low back lend the silhouette its effortlessly undone quality.
• Ruched detailing through the bodice creates definition through the waist, while the skirt flows into a handkerchief frill hem for movement that catches with every step.
• Midi length with uneven hemline points - the asymmetric finish keeps the proportions interesting without veering into occasion-wear territory.
• The elastane-blended construction moves with you and holds its shape across the ruching - worth noting that due to the fabric, colour transfer can occur, so keep it away from light upholstery.

A rooftop brunch, a sun-drenched afternoon at a market, a low-key birthday gathering - this dress reads the room effortlessly across all of them. The cowl neck and open back give it that artful, considered energy without tipping into overdressed, which means flat sandals or trainers work just as convincingly as a strappy heel. Style it with minimal jewellery and let the handkerchief hem do the talking, or layer a denim jacket over the top for a more casual afternoon feel. The Shape collection is cut to celebrate and support curves, so the ruched waist and flowing skirt aren't just aesthetic choices - they're intentional. This is the dress you reach for when you want to look like you thought about it, even on a day when you didn't.
