Jayden Maxi Dress - Black Cream

Black above, cream below: the Jayden Maxi Dress sets a dark bodice against a pale skirt and lets the join do the talking.

The neckline is square, lifted by an elasticised halterneck that takes the weight off the shoulders. At the back an invisible zip closes with a hook and eye. Below the waist the cream contrast skirt is cut a-line and runs to maxi length, and the side pockets set into it actually open. The dress is lined, and the cloth is cotton.

Wear it to a party where you will be handed a drink and want somewhere to put your hands. The colour split already gives the outfit its structure, so a plain shoe and one piece of jewellery finish it. It reads as well in daylight as it does after dark.
