Black floral dresses with red, yellow and blue blooms

Put flowers on black and they look brighter than on any other ground, which is the whole idea behind a floral black dress. Ours are summer pieces, short for the most part, with a couple of midis and a sundress. You’ll see roses, red sprigs and little blue or yellow blooms on them.

Satin with a little stretch, and one jersey wrap

Most of these prints go on silk-look satin. The red sprig mini and the off-shoulder style are 98% polyester and 2% elastane, and both have a little give. That stretch matters at a dinner table, when you’re sitting for two hours, reaching across for the bread and then getting up to dance once the music starts. Nothing pulls.

We made the short wrap from something else, a soft jersey that hardly wrinkles in a bag. Roll it into a carry-on, land, put it on.

Roses and red sprigs after dark

Picture a birthday dinner at eight. Our black wrap mini with roses ties at the waist, and even its short sleeves have tiny ties. Put your hair up so the V-neck shows. That’s the floral black dress we’d pick for a date, too.

Red flowers are the loud ones. We add ruffles at the hem of both red prints, so the skirt swings with each stride, and with that much red going on we’d wear earrings and leave the necklace at home.

If the evening might turn cool, go for long sleeves. The red ruffled style and the roses both cover your arms, and thin black tights under either one look right.

Office days, beach towns and a yellow scarf

For work, we’d send the wrap midi with small blue flowers. Little creases from a day at a desk disappear into the print. The sundress is for the beach, a black midi on thin tie straps that you can pull over a swimsuit for the walk up to the café.

Gray morning? The mini with yellow flowers comes with a little scarf you tie in a bow at the neck or knot around the waist. The waist is elastic, and it doesn’t care much how narrow yours is. There are two lengths of this one, 84 cm or 88–89 cm, and it’s a good idea to mention the length you want to the manager when you place the order, especially if you’re petite and want the shorter cut or ride a bike and want the longer one.

For the off-shoulder style, size by your bust. It won’t stay up otherwise. Every print here comes in XS to XL, and you can see the rest of our dresses with flowers in every color or just the short floral styles.
