This animal print maxi dress just needs somewhere to be. The print is fine and softly spotted rather than bold, the bodice sits close through the waist and hip, and then the skirt releases into a long fluted sweep that moves when you do. Below the hip the fabric turns sheer, so it reads easy rather than formal. It's the one you'd pull on for a warm evening when jeans feel like too much effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine spotted animal print\u003c\/strong\u003e - does the work on its own, so you can keep your shoes and bag plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClose through the bust and waist\u003c\/strong\u003e - you get shape without it clinging the whole way down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFluted skirt from the hip\u003c\/strong\u003e - plenty of room to walk in a floor-length dress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheer below the hip\u003c\/strong\u003e - a long dress that still feels light in summer heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow straps and a scooped neck\u003c\/strong\u003e - leaves your shoulders and collarbone open on a warm evening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlare set in below the hip rather than at the waist\u003c\/strong\u003e - keeps one long line from shoulder to floor instead of cutting you in half\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrint scaled small and dense\u003c\/strong\u003e - it holds together at a distance rather than turning into blotches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlain scooped neckline with no hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e - nothing to catch or shift when you sit down to eat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this one work is where the flare starts. Set it at the waist and a maxi turns into a nightdress; drop it to just below the hip and the dress keeps one long line all the way down. The honest trade-off is the skirt: from the hip down you can see through it, so you'll want slip shorts or a slip underneath if you're wearing this somewhere bright. Plan for that and it earns its place all summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and Coverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's cut close through the bust, waist and hip, then falls away into a full-length skirt, so you get a fitted shape on top and room to move from the thigh down. Coverage is floor length at the front, with a sheer skirt you'll want something under. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFabric and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's made from polyester, which is what gives the skirt its long fluid fall. If you're deciding between this and something stiffer, that drape is the difference. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat leather sandals and a straw bag for daytime, so the print stays the loudest thing on you\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlip shorts or a plain slip underneath, matched to your skin rather than to the dress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA cropped denim jacket left open when the evening cools, so the long line survives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails You'll Love\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's something quietly pleasing about a dress you can walk quickly in.
