Full bloom

A floral shirt dress is a fashion fail-safe, hides a multitude of sins and won’t date from season to season. On cooler days, wear over a fine knit to keep warm without adding unnecessary bulk. Minimal accessories let the print take centre stage – think subtle gold jewellery and gorgeous suede slouch boots. Opposite page: Dress, £475, sizes 6-16, Daks. Roll-neck, £90, sizes xs-l, Jigsaw.
