• Dramatically voluminous puff sleeves taper to elasticated cuffs, creating a bell-like flare that moves with every gesture
• A crochet lace trim runs along the waistline and hems the sleeve cuffs and skirt edge - the kind of broderie-style detail that reads as considered rather than costume
• Square neckline with a self-tie front detail at the bust, allowing you to adjust how much or how little you reveal
• Cotton fabric that breathes easily and sits softly against the skin - comfortable enough to wear from morning through to evening without a second thought
• Mini length with a slightly full skirt that skims the thigh rather than clinging, giving it an easy, relaxed silhouette

The bell sleeves are the defining feature here - oversized and theatrical, they give this mini dress a romantic, vintage-leaning character that sets it apart from a straightforward summer frock. The lace trim at the waist acts as a natural dividing line, drawing the eye in without the need for a structured silhouette beneath. It sits lightly, moves freely, and the cotton construction means it won't feel stifling on warmer days. The model wears it with mule-style heeled sandals, which works well - keeping the footwear simple lets the sleeves do the talking. For a more casual daytime outing, flat strappy sandals or white trainers would sit just as naturally with it. Ideal for a garden party, a weekend market trip, a countryside picnic, or any occasion that calls for something with a little more character than a standard sundress. Wear the tie loosely knotted at the neckline for an effortless finish.
