Vintage Floral Shift Dress, Yellow Pink & Orange Flower and Fruit Print, Sleeveless A-Line Summer Dress
Description
A charming vintage sleeveless dress with a colourful print of flowers, leaves, strawberries and grape motifs on a pale background. Mustard yellow, golden orange, soft pink and olive-toned foliage give the pattern a warm, cheerful feel.
The simple shape lets the print take centre stage, with a scooped front neckline, a higher back neckline and a gently flared skirt. A centre-back metal zip and hook-and-eye fastening complete the design.
An easy piece to style for summer days, holidays or a vintage-inspired everyday wardrobe.
