Spring floral dresses with cuffed sleeves, wraps and ruffles

Long sleeves for April and early May

Start with the white wrap mini. Its print on a white ground looks like a garden in bloom, the sleeves are long, and the wrap makes a V at the neck. Size it by bust and waist so the front doesn’t gape.

The mint one is covered in tiny roses. It’s a mini with ruffles and long sleeves gathered on cuffs, and those cuffs keep the sleeve at your wrist, out of the way when you drive or eat. A light trench goes over it nicely.

Got a christening or a May birthday coming? We’d look at the white midi with ruffles at the hem, because it covers both arms and knees. There’s also a white midi with lilac flowers in lightweight viscose. It has a belt for the waist and a hem below the knee, so it’s fine in church.

White, black or a color under the flowers

White grounds lead in our prints. Black comes next, and it isn’t gloomy at all. Flowers look brighter on black, and a black floral feels festive even at noon. After those you’ll see light blue, pink, yellow and mint. Chocolate brown with a small flower is the calm one, and we’d send it to the office.

The flowers change too. Roses, magnolias, cornflowers. Which is yours?

Satin, muslin, viscose and one linen

Most of these are silk-look satin, thin and smooth with a soft sheen. Muslin is our thin cotton that breathes at midday. Lightweight viscose is pleasant in the heat. And the single linen style, with bare shoulders, has a crinkled texture, so small creases are part of how it looks.

We make each spring floral dress in XS to XL, and XS is about a US 2. On wraps the ties handle the waist, which leaves the bust as the number to check.

Frequently asked questions

Will long sleeves be too much by late May?

Not these. A sleeve on a cuff earns its keep on cool evenings right through summer, and the ruffle-hem midi even carries into early fall.

What jacket goes over a floral dress in spring?

A light trench or a short blazer for the mint and white ones. A cropped denim jacket if the day is casual.

Which print is right for a christening?

Something on white with covered knees. The ruffle-hem midi and the lilac one both qualify.

When does the collection come back?

In spring, as the weather warms. Meanwhile, browse everything we make for spring, the full floral range, our flower-print wraps or the florals on white.
