Tulle in two sober colourways, navy and coffee, printed with polka dots and lined all the way through so nothing goes sheer. The bodice is elastic smocking at an empire line, the straps are ruffled to match a square neckline, and the skirt is built in tiers that move as you walk. The whole thing is aimed squarely at being a guest at somebody else's wedding.

What matters on this one

Start here

Lined tulle, so nothing is sheer

Tulle on its own is a see-through fabric and plenty of versions leave it exactly that way. The full lining here means the dress holds up outdoors in daylight, which is exactly where most wedding guests end up standing for photographs.

Polka dots instead of florals

Floral prints dominate the rest of the summer range. Dots date more slowly and read as neater from across a lawn, which suits a dress meant to turn up at ceremonies rather than picnics.

Tiers and ruffle straps

The skirt is cut in layered tiers so it swings rather than hangs, and the shoulder straps carry the same ruffle as the hem. Two details in one vocabulary, and they keep the dress from looking like plain mesh on a hanger.

Fit, honestly

Runs S to XL: S is US 4-6 up to XL at 16-18. The smocked bodice stretches, so there is no zip to fit around. Machine wash inside a laundry bag, hang to dry, iron on low. The review count is small, so treat the fit notes as early days.
