Sophie | Floral Pleated Dress

The dress that covers the two things you wanted covered.

Meet the Sophie — the floral maxi you can wear on its own. The sleeve is cut soft and full over the shoulder and comes down past the upper arm, finishing in a small gathered ruffle, so there is no bare stretch of arm to plan a cardigan around. From a soft band just under the bust the dress falls away from the body instead of following it, with no waistband to cut in when you sit down. And yes — the skirt is pleated the whole way round, so it holds its shape standing still and swings the moment you walk. Lovingly offered by the Clarke family, a family-run South Carolina boutique since 1986.

Why you'll love the Sophie:

· Sleeves that cover the upper arms — soft and full, ending in a little ruffle past the arm, never sleeveless.
· Loose from under the bust down — no waistband, nothing clinging at the middle, nothing to hold in.
· Big painted blooms — roses and peonies drifting across the fabric, in pink, blue or green.
· Pleated the whole way round — it moves when you do, so nothing settles anywhere long enough to cling.
· Long and light — covered to the ankle, in a fabric the air moves straight through.
· True to size, XS–4XL — cut generous on purpose, with the print scaled so the blooms stay in proportion.
