The dress that earns its keep — wherever the weekend takes you.
The Riviera Midi is cut from a soft, 4-way stretch jersey that moves with you all day. A signature knot-front detail and softly ruched waist sculpt a beautifully balanced silhouette through the middle, while the round neckline, cap sleeves, and flowing midi length keep the look elegant rather than overdone.
Choose from nine signature prints — four bold leopards (Sahara Beige, Toffee Brown, Forest Green, Cobalt Blue) and five Riviera stripes (Multicolour, Navy, Black, Coffee Brown, White & Brown) — so you can have one for the rooftop dinner, another for the wedding guest moment, and a third for slipping over a swimsuit at the beach club.
Wear it with strappy heels and gold hoops for dinner dates, leather sandals and a basket bag for holiday lunches, or trainers and a denim jacket for daytime brunches. One silhouette, endless outfits.

FAQ
Is it lined? Single layer of stretch jersey, not lined. Not transparent.
True to size? Yes — order your normal UK size. Sizing down will make the dress shorter and tighter.
Does the print vary? The leopard and stripe placement varies slightly across each piece — part of the natural cut from continuous fabric.
What bra should I wear? Stick-on, strapless, or low-back recommended depending on cup size.
Holiday-friendly? Yes — packs flat, barely wrinkles. Wedding-guest and beach-club ready.
UK delivery? 4–7 working days. Free over £35. Free returns within 14 days.

How to Measure Yourself
For the most accurate fit, use a soft tape measure and wear well-fitting underwear. Stand naturally — don't suck in or stretch up.
- Bust / Chest: Measure around the fullest part, tape parallel to the floor.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waist — the narrowest point, usually about 2.5 cm (1") above your belly button.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, usually 18-20 cm (7-8") below your waist.
- Inseam (for trousers): Measure from your crotch to your ankle bone, along the inside of your leg.
