Print dress in florals, polka dots and small motifs

Flowers, polka dots and a few small motifs like hearts and cornflowers. That’s what a print dress means in our workshop, and nearly all of them are summer styles. They’re part of the warm-season collection, so use this page to plan before it returns.

Florals, from tiny roses to magnolias

Scale matters more than color. Small roses and little scattered flowers look soft and are easy to wear every day, as on our black midi sundress with tie straps that let you set the length of the bodice. Big flowers get noticed. Our magnolia mini on a white ground has long sleeves, each slit to show the shoulder, and that’s decoration enough without a necklace.

Grounds come in white, black, light blue, pink, yellow, mint and green. A black mini with yellow flowers even brings its own scarf, which you can knot in a bow at the neck or wrap around the waist in place of a belt. It comes with a choice of hem, 84 cm long or closer to 88–89 cm, so let the manager know your pick when you order.

Polka dots and the smaller motifs

Dots are the tidy pattern. Ours are black on white, white on black, and white on lemon yellow or light blue. A white wrap midi with black dots suits a family party in the garden, and the dots tell you what to add, which is black sandals and a small black bag. Want something less expected? There’s a black dotted mini on one shoulder, with a ruffle along the neckline.

Hearts and cornflowers appear on white muslin minis. One powder pink mini has an animal print, and it’s the only one we make.

What the fabric does to a pattern

The same flowers look different on different cloth. On satin, which here means a matte silk-look fabric and not natural silk, colors come out smooth with a soft sheen. Muslin is thin cotton that breathes and wrinkles a little, so a print dress in it looks relaxed. We also use lightweight viscose and, for one off-shoulder floral, linen.

Every style is cut in XS to XL, and an S matches a UK 8. From here, go straight to florals only or to polka dots. If you’d rather sort by weather than by pattern, our summer dresses include the plain colors too.
