Check price & buyThree dark-ground florals, all printed on lightweight chiffon over a lining: dark blue, black, and blue yellow. The bodice carries working buttons down the front with ruffles edging the V-neck above them, the waist is smocked at the empire line, and the skirt runs A-line to the floor. Elastic cuffs close the long sleeves at the wrist. Simplee asks for hand washing, which is the one maintenance cost on the model.

Simplee calls them decorative and functional, meaning the front of the bodice opens. That is unusual on this shelf, where most dresses pull on and stay shut, and it makes the neckline adjustable by a button either way.
The sleeves gather at the wrist instead of hanging open over a plate. The band also gives the sleeve a slight blouson above it rather than a straight line running from shoulder to hand.
Dark blue, black and blue yellow all set the floral on a deep ground. Prints like that hide the creasing that comes from a long drive, and they keep a chiffon dress on the formal side of the line rather than the picnic side.
The smocked panel at the empire line is where the dress gives; above it the bodice buttons, below it the A-line skirt stays loose to the hem. Sleeves are long and finished with elastic cuffs. Gentle cold hand washing is recommended to protect the print and the ruffles.
