Zigzags stopped short by a block of gold
Bernadette runs a black and white zigzag from the shoulders to a point below the hip, where the pattern breaks and a wide band of golden yellow carries on to the floor. The V-neck is framed in the same yellow, which ties the two halves together.
Why you'll love the Bernadette Summer Dress
-
Zigzag upper, plain gold skirt: Pattern where it is noticed and calm where it is not needed.
-
Pointed hem to the patterned panel: The break sits on a diagonal, which softens a hard colour change.
-
Wide V-neckline: Open enough for a statement necklace or a bare neck.
-
Long, unfitted line: Falls straight from the shoulder with room the whole way down.
Worn with tan sandals and hair up, it does an evening as easily as it does a market on a Saturday.
The guide covers UK 8 to UK 22, which is worth checking on a long dress.
