The midi dress
YOU may rest easy: the floral midi is alive and kicking, so long as it’s not the spriggy twee sort. This season’s florals are bold and graphic. Sleeves are much the same — fuller and long, or elbow length with a bit of puff at the shoulder.
The length could be midi, but it’s the long side of midi, or an ankle-grazing maxi. This time, look for more volume in the skirt, a high waist and a neat top.
If you were thinking of going for a frilly yoke detail or a lace insert, or anything that might be described as boho or prairie, think again.
This dress is your go-to, like the last one — but more — elegant and dramatic. PACK AWAY: Bias cut floral dresses.
KEEP: Long shirt dresses. BUY: A bold print dress.
