Daphne | Off Shoulder Floral Maxi Dress
Off the Shoulder Floral Maxi Dress for Summer Days and Evenings
Meet Daphne, a floor-sweeping maxi dress covered in a bold rose print of bright blue and soft teal on a deep navy ground. The off the shoulder neckline frames the collarbones beautifully, while airy puff sleeves and a tied waist give the silhouette its romantic shape. It's an easy pick for summer weddings, long lunches, resort holidays and Christmas parties in the warmer months.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Lightweight, floaty chiffon-look fabric with semi-sheer sleeves that catch the breeze.
- Neckline: Straight off-shoulder neckline that sits across the upper arms.
- Sleeves: Three-quarter puff sleeves with gathered cuffs for a soft, voluminous finish.
- Cut/Fit: Fitted through the bodice, defined at the waist with a self-tie sash, then opening into a full, flowing skirt.
- Length: Maxi length that falls to the ankle and moves beautifully as you walk.
- Pattern: All-over large-scale rose print in layered blue and teal tones.
- Style: Romantic, holiday-ready and dressy enough for evening events.
Styling Tips
- Pair with flat leather-look sandals, a woven straw bag and gold hoops for a relaxed resort look.
- Add strappy heels, a slim clutch and statement earrings for a summer wedding guest outfit.
- Throw a cropped denim jacket over the shoulders and slip on block-heel sandals for cooler evenings.
Care
Gentle cold hand wash or a delicate machine cycle inside a laundry bag. Hang to dry away from direct sun and cool iron if needed. Always check the care label first.
Size & Fit
The bodice sits close to the body and the tie waist lets you adjust the shape, while the skirt is generous and roomy. The off-shoulder neckline stays in place best when it fits snugly, so we suggest choosing your usual size; if you are between sizes or prefer more room through the bust, size up.
