This vibrant red dress, featuring contrasting floral prints, has a fitted bodice with a flattering scoop neck. The ribbon ties can hang loose or be tied in a chic bow. The sleeves are three-quarter length and beautifully blouson and the skirt is cut on the bias and frilled at the hem, to give a shapely and feminine fit. Glass of chilled rosé optional.
LOUIZON FLORAL MONTORGUEUIL DRESS
Sophisticated and glamorous, this ankle length maxi dress features a cap-sleeved, wrap top with pleats falling from the shoulders to create a little volume. The waist is elasticated for a comfortable fit and has an elegant gold-piped waistband to make it even more special. Team with smart white trainers for a sporty Wimbledon vibe.
This dress, in a stunning flowing floral, has a fitted bodice with a flattering ruffled v-neck. The back of the dress has a modest, open panel at the shoulders which is a lovely detail. The self fabric belt can be tied at the back or the front. Team with platform sandals and a glass of bubbly.
Be the best-dressed-guest in this cobalt blue, purple and green floral print dress. The bodice drapes softly from a v-neck into a cross-body ruffle, with three quarter length sleeves and a ruffled hemline. The cut of the dress is super flattering, skimming the body beautifully. Simply add a pretty fascinator, heels and a clutch to complete the look.
This fresh, flower print maxi dress has delicate ties on the neck, waist and sleeves. The neckline is elasticated meaning it can be worn off-the-shoulder if preferred – and the long tiered skirt is fully lined. The soft, floaty fabric drapes beautifully too. Accessorise with heels and a glass of Pimms.
This dress is looser and more unstructured than our other Feri dresses and the drop-waist and tiered skirt make it a more relaxed and everyday choice. It features a deep v-neck, with ribbon ties that fasten across the top of the chest. There is a button fastening at the back of the neck. The gathered three quarter-sleeves have a tie at each cuff. Cute dog optional.
This bright blue, pink, white and navy ankle-skimming dress ties at the waist with a long sash. The sleeves are short and the dress is fully lined. An effortless choice, we love the silhouette’s elegant simplicity and think this is the perfect dress to wear from day into evening. Team with trainers for lunch then switch to a heel and some jewellery at dinner.
COSTER COPENHAGEN BUTTERFLY PRINT DRESS
Featuring a bold and stunning butterfly print, this dress has a super flattering silhouette. The deep, fitted waistband skims the body effortlessly and the slim-cut skirt has beautiful fabric-covered buttons and an attractive split at the bottom. The sleeves are three quarter length and elasticated at the cuff. The perfect choice to wear to a flower show, be it Chelsea, Hampton Court or at the village hall.
