DOROTHY PERKINS Red Animal Midi Shirt Dress 18

This midi shirt dress strikes the perfect balance between occasion ready and effortlessly wearable. The shirt style collar and button down front give it a refined edge, while the all over print and ruched sleeve detail keep things feeling current and considered. The tie belt allows you to adjust the fit to your preference - cinch it in for a more defined shape or leave it loosely tied for a relaxed, flowing silhouette. As seen on the model, pair it with clean white trainers for a casual daytime look that works brilliantly for a weekend brunch or a garden party. For something more occasion appropriate - think a summer wedding, a baby shower or a day at the races - swap the trainers for block heeled sandals or strappy heels and add delicate gold hoop earrings to let the print do the talking. The midi length makes it a versatile choice for those who prefer a more modest hemline without sacrificing style and the side pockets are a practical bonus you'll genuinely appreciate.
