Color: Sky Blue

Three fabric flowers, folded petal by petal from the same sky-blue cloth, sit across the waist where the dress draws in. Above them the neckline drops into a deep V, front and back, and the short sleeves gather onto drawstrings you can pull up or let fall. The waist itself is a wide band of shirring, so it holds without a seam, and the skirt breaks from it into a full sweep to the floor.

Perfect for: garden weddings, summer holidays, resort evenings and long lunches outdoors.

Fit: The cloth has no give, so the shirred waist does the adjusting. The chart below is the supplier’s own — the waist figure is the band relaxed, and it stretches well beyond it.

Measurements in cm, hand-measured — allow 1–2 cm variance. Read them carefully, because the supplier measured each row differently: the waist is the elasticated band relaxed, measured at the waist bone; the sweep figure is the full circumference 20 cm below the waist, so it describes how wide the skirt falls rather than a hip size; and the bust row is flagged by the supplier as a reference figure the supplier took from the original brand’s listing rather than measured themselves. The EU and UK columns are our conversion from that bust figure, so treat them as a starting point rather than a guarantee, and go by the waist band if you are between sizes. The supplier grades this style in S, M and L only; XL is sold but is not covered by their chart.
