Return of the dress, a timeless wardrobe hero

It’s the perfect choice for every summer occasion

THE humble dress is a wardrobe staple that’s perfect for any occasion — from lunch with the girls to small family get-togethers and big celebrations.

Whether you’re looking for a style that’s suitable for every day, or something a little bit special, a dress is the perfect choice.

A British designer, David Nieper, has a whole range of timeless styles in flattering patterns, colours and fabrics that are created to be elegant, whatever the occasion.

Bright and attractive floral designs are guaranteed to make you smile. From ditsy designs in summer colours to abstract patterns that give your wardrobe an instant update, you’ll look and feel fantastic in these elegant, flattering styles.

An Ikat floral dress (pictured), for example, is a striking take on this theme. Its elegant blue pattern is sure to turn heads, while the midi-length, longer short sleeves and matching tie belt are endlessly flattering.

This relaxed fit dress is made from supersoft jersey, so you’ll always feel comfortable wearing it.

The entire collection, along with a range of beautiful fabrics, is made in the heart of Derbyshire, a stone’s throw from the historic cotton mills that once defined the region as the heartland of the British textiles industry.

It is perhaps, then, no surprise that only the finest fabrics, using natural fibres where possible, are selected for the collections.

Whichever style you choose, all garments are finished with a label handsigned by those who proudly made it — a hallmark of enduring quality.

Pair your dress with sandals for daytime adventures, or a favourite statement bag and heels for an evening out.
