Poppy | Printed Short Sleeve Maxi Dress
Poppy | Printed Short Sleeve Maxi Dress
Relaxed Printed Long Dress for Spring Days and Summer Weekends
Meet Poppy, a loose long dress for women that pairs an easy, roomy shape with big, joyful prints. Soft pleats fall from the bodice into a generous swing skirt that moves beautifully with every step, finishing around mid-calf. It's an easy pick for brunch, beach-town wandering, garden parties and laid-back summer holidays.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Smooth, matte woven fabric with a soft, lightly textured finish.
- Cut/Fit: Loose and relaxed through the body, with plenty of room through the skirt.
- Neckline: Simple round neck that keeps the focus on the print.
- Sleeves: Short, slightly dropped sleeves for an easygoing look.
- Length: Long, flowing length that falls to around mid-calf on the model.
- Details/Finish: Front pleats below the neckline create a full swing silhouette.
- Style: Choose from bold prints including oversized florals, lemons and sunflowers.
Styling Tips
- Keep it breezy with flat strappy sandals, a woven tote and a straw hat for a market morning.
- Layer a cropped denim jacket over the top and add white sneakers for a relaxed weekend look.
- Dress it up with block-heel sandals, gold hoops and a neat crossbody bag for a garden party or long lunch.
Care
Gentle cold machine wash or hand wash with similar colours, then line dry or dry flat. Warm iron on the reverse if needed, and always check the care label.
Size & Fit
Poppy is designed with a loose, swingy fit, so most people will be happy in their usual size. If you prefer a slightly neater look through the shoulders, consider sizing down; for an extra-roomy fit, size up.
