Large peony print on a black ground, cut as a flowy midi in 100% polyester chiffon. Short sleeves, a V-neck and an adjustable belt at the waist, with the skirt falling in tiers to a ruffled hem. The lining is partial by design: sleeves are left unlined for airflow, the hem is lined so nothing shows through. That split is why the dress works in July, and it is one of the better-received pieces in the section.

What matters on this one

Start here

Lined at the hem, open at the sleeve

Sleeves unlined, hem lined. A full lining would make a polyester chiffon midi unbearable in heat, and no lining at all would leave the skirt transparent in sunlight. The compromise lands in the right place.

Belt you can set yourself

The waist is not elasticated into a fixed position; a belt adjusts it. That matters on a midi, where moving the waist a couple of centimetres changes where the skirt breaks on the leg.

Dark ground, large print

A black base with big peonies reads as a dressy dress from across a room and as a garden print up close. It carries an evening better than any pastel floral in this group.

Fit, honestly

Sizes run S (4-6) to XL (16-18). V-neck and short sleeves at the top, A-line from the belt down, so there is nothing tight below the waist and no zip to deal with. Wash cold, by hand or in a laundry bag, hang or line dry, cool iron if the chiffon creases.
