Leontine Midi Dress - Olive

Olive, wrapped at the front, and cut for a day rather than an evening: the Leontine Midi Dress is a plain-spoken dress.

The v overlay neckline crosses over in a faux wrap, so it looks like a wrap dress without behaving like one. An attached waist tie draws it in, and beneath that the waistband is elasticised and shirred, which means the fit holds whether or not you tie it tightly. Short sleeves keep it light. The a-line skirt opens to midi length in rayon, and the dress is lined.

Casual is the honest register here: this is a dress for a weekday that involves leaving the house. Olive takes warm accessories better than it takes black ones. A flat sandal when it is warm, a boot when it is not, and a jacket over the top when the day turns. Nothing else is required.
