Broad red and white stripes, cut on the turn
Alma runs broad red and white stripes horizontally across the bodice, then sends them spinning around a full skirt. A wide neckline sits right across the shoulders. Turning the stripe between the two halves is a small trick with a large effect.
Why you'll love the Alma Dress
-
Broad two-colour stripes: Direction changes between bodice and skirt, which gives the shape movement.
-
Wide boat neckline: It rests near the edge of the shoulder for a clean, open line.
-
Full A-line skirt: Plenty of fabric below the waist seam, with pockets set into the side.
-
Short set-in sleeves: A neat sleeve that stops above the elbow.
Alma is the dress for a summer party where you would rather not blend in. Red and white is a summer pairing, and this is a full-blooded version.
Look through the size guide first, as the bodice is the closer-fitting half.
