Aside from that, the pale blue satin material is a great one to suit pretty much any skin tone, and the regular fit with a flowy midaxi length skirt (that’s somewhere between midi and maxi) is all about timeless elegance.
It’s also available in ivory if blue’s really not your thing, and it’s a very reasonable £45. It's available in sizes six to 24, but if you want one act fast – several of the sizes are already sold out in blue.
