We love designing the perfect high summer dress each season - finding the perfect mix of colour, cool shapes and materials that cope with the heat of the season. This dress ticks all of the boxes but can then work into cooler months with the tank shape sitting perfectly under knits and jackets. This is a dress you can throw on any time for any occasion.
