• The pleated midi skirt fans out with a wave-cut hem - the diagonal colourblock stripe runs across the pleats at an angle, creating movement even when standing still.
• A ribbed, fitted bodice with a high neck transitions seamlessly into the pleated skirt, giving the dress a two-piece appearance in a single, effortless pull-on style.
• The self-tie belt sits at the natural waist, allowing you to adjust how cinched or relaxed the silhouette sits - tie it neatly at the front or let it trail to one side.
• Long sleeves with a softly gathered cuff keep the look polished and covered-up without feeling restrictive across the arm.
• The midi length hits below the knee, with the pleated skirt falling in a full, sweeping shape that moves well with every step.

This dress earns its place as a reliable piece that moves between the smarter end of casual and dressed-up daywear without needing much help from the rest of the wardrobe. The structured bodice and fluid pleated skirt do most of the work, so styling can stay simple. The model wears it with knee-high heeled boots, which complement the midi length well and keep the overall look sharp - a flat ankle boot works just as well for a more relaxed outing. Layer a tailored coat over the top on cooler days; the high neck means scarves are optional. It suits a family gathering, a lunch out, or a smart daytime occasion where you want to look considered without being overdressed. A small structured bag and simple stud earrings are all it needs to feel complete.
