This breezy cotton maxi dress combines comfort with casual elegance for your everyday wardrobe. The shirred bodice creates a supportive fit while the empire waistline flows into a relaxed skirt that skims your curves beautifully. Style with flat sandals and a woven tote bag for daytime outings, or dress it up with metallic accessories and layered bangles as shown for family gatherings and garden parties. The charming tie shoulder detail adds interest to this otherwise minimalist design, making it perfect for summer holidays or weekend brunches. For cooler evenings, layer with a lightweight denim jacket and switch to espadrilles for a quintessentially British summer look that transitions seamlessly from day to evening.
