FINERY Kathleen Satin Stripe Chiffon Midi Dress 8

A print does its best work when nothing interrupts it. Here it runs over the whole dress uninterrupted and the satin stripe woven through the chiffon picks up light in thin lines, so the pattern shifts as you move rather than sitting flat. The cut is loose everywhere it can be. Shirring across the yoke, a frill collar and an open neck, full blouson sleeves gathered into shirred cuffs and a frill at the hem. The waist is relaxed with a tie to pull it in as much or as little as you want, there are pockets and it is fully lined. Knee boots and a coat or flats and bare legs while it is still warm, it asks for nothing and gives back a whole outfit.
