Oona Midi Dress - Black Ditsy Floral

Nothing about the Oona Midi Dress announces itself. It is black, scattered with a ditsy floral, and built to be worn on ordinary days.

A sweetheart neckline opens the top, with ruching gathered across the bust beneath it. Sleeves stop at mid length and close into an elasticised cuff. The back does the structural work: a shirred panel that moves with the body, an invisible zip set into the seam, and a split cut low enough to free the stride. The floral print runs over the whole midi length, and the dress is partially lined.

This is a casual dress before it is anything else, for a brunch, an errand that turns into a long lunch, an evening that did not need a plan. It takes a flat as easily as a heel. Add a jacket when the light goes and leave the rest alone.
