This design is mid length, and features short sleeves, as well as a vibrant floral print.

It features a belt detail around the waist, for a more flattering fit, as well as button front detail.

It comes in UK dress sizes 8 to 18, and can take you from day to night, the office, summer BBQs, or make for the perfect wedding guest ensemble.
