Watercolour Floral Mini Dress

The back panel is fully smocked with elasticated construction, so it stretches and moves with you rather than holding you to a single measurement. Across the XS to XXL size range, it accommodates different body shapes without pulling or gaping at the back. No fussing with zips or buttons.

Petal sleeves are short, layered half-sleeves where the fabric folds open like flower petals at the shoulder. They add dimension at the arm without adding bulk, and they're what gives this dress a distinct silhouette rather than a standard flutter or cap sleeve. It's a small detail that reads clearly in person.

36 inches is the full length from shoulder to hem. On most frames, the fit-and-flare skirt hits well above the knee, which is what makes it read as a true mini. The skater-style flare means the hem sits away from the body rather than clinging, so it moves when you do.

The print is soft and painterly, with blooms that bleed into each other the way watercolour pigment does on wet paper. It's not a sharp, graphic repeat. The result is a multicoloured, wearable print that photographs as blue-dominant but reads as mixed-tone in natural light.

It works for both. Paired with a structured blazer and block heels, the V-neck and fit-and-flare shape read as polished enough for a workday. In the evening, swap to strappy sandals and it's dinner-ready. It's also compact and crease-resistant enough to pack for a weekend trip without much thought.

It's 100% polyester. Machine wash it. The fabric holds its shape and colour well through regular washing, which matters for a printed dress you'll reach for often.
