The leaf pattern here is burnout rather than printed, so the motif reads as texture in the cloth instead of ink on the surface. Simplee describes a special yarn with some elasticity, soft to the touch and breathable, and leaves the dress unlined. The shape is A-line with short sleeves, a V-neck, an empire waist and a button front; a belt comes with it, and the listing treats belted and unbelted as two separate looks. Side pockets are included. One colourway, Ink Blue, with a feedback base that is modest but no longer thin.

What the burnout leaf print belted sundress actually does

Burnout patterning gives a solid colour something to look at without turning it into a print.

1

Burnout leaves instead of print

Burnout works by dissolving part of the cloth, so the pattern sits in the fabric rather than on top of it. The effect is quieter than a printed floral and shows its detail close up, which suits a solid ink ground better than a busy print would.

2

Belt on, belt off

With the belt the A-line gains a defined waist; without it the dress falls straight from the empire seam. Simplee lists both as intended ways to wear it, which is unusual candour for a listing and gives the same dress two silhouettes.

3

Unlined, with a button front

No lining is listed, so this is built for heat rather than coverage, and a slip is worth considering in strong light. Buttons run down the front, the hem finishes in a ruffle, and the pockets are set into the side seams.

Fit, honestly

Sized S to XL, with S at 4-6, M at 8-10, L at 12 and XL at 14; the listing states it fits true to size. Closure is by button, and the fabric carries some elasticity of its own. Wash cold, do not bleach, hang to dry, low iron.
