This vintage dress has that lovely vivid blue presence that will feel instantly uplifting, with an all-over abstract print in navy, teal, chartreuse, violet, and pink scattered across the fabric. The collar and soft shirt-style bodice give it a neat tailored starting point, while the elasticated waist draws the shape in gently without taking away the ease.

The fabric is soft as butter and light to wear, with that easy wash-and-wear feel that makes getting dressed wonderfully straightforward. Long sleeves gathered into cuffs give it a little polish, while the skirt falls into an easy line with room to move. It is the sort of dress that feels just as right for daytime plans as it does dressed up a little further.

Try it with neutral loafers and a lilac handbag, or go with cobalt boots and a bright bangles. For a colour extravaganza, add a cardigan in saffron, fuchsia, or apple green.

This shape is great if you like gentle definition through the waist with ease through the hips and thighs. It also works well if you are a bit fuller through the bust and shoulders and want the bodice to sit comfortably without clinging. If you are straighter through the middle, the elasticated waist helps create shape, while the soft skirt keeps the overall line relaxed and flattering.
