Warm-weather dresses tend to be either shapeless sacks or far too tight — there is rarely anything in between!

Just imagine a soft pink dress with a smocked neckline that sits off the shoulder and holds itself there, enormous balloon sleeves, and an A-line skirt that swings free of the body. Now stop imagining. It is relaxed everywhere it should be and structured exactly where it needs to be.

• Smocking Holds It Up
  The elasticated neckline grips gently all the way around, so the off-shoulder line stays put without a single adjustment. There is nothing to keep pulling back into place.
• Sleeves With Real Volume
  Full balloon sleeves gather at the elbow and cover the upper arm entirely. They are the reason an off-shoulder dress can still feel covered.
• Loose Through The Body
  The skirt falls in a clean A-line from the neckline down, never touching the waist or the stomach. On a hot day it moves air rather than trapping it.
• A Beautiful Shoulder Line
  The off-shoulder cut puts the focus on the collarbone and the shoulder, which is a lovely place for it. It also gives an otherwise simple dress a genuine shape.
• Relaxed, S To 2XL
  Take your usual size — the smocking has a good amount of stretch in either direction. Size up if you would like the hem to sit lower on the leg.

Between a sack and a squeeze there should be something you actually want to put on. This is it — and it will be the first thing out of the drawer every warm morning.
