Priya Wrap Maxi Dress - Burgundy Brandy Bloom

A wrap dress is the one shape that adjusts to the person rather than the other way round, which is why the Priya will still fit in two years. It wraps across the body and ties at the side, so the waist is set exactly where you want it. The neckline is a v, formed by the wrap itself rather than cut in. The sleeves are the surprise: long and sheer, finishing in an elasticised cuff at the wrist, so the arms are covered without any weight added. A floral print runs across the burgundy, and the dress is lined. Sheer sleeves and a solid body is a good combination for a room that will get warm. Tie the wrap before you decide on the shoe — the waist position changes the proportion. Nothing at the neck, a heel if the evening calls for it, and it will carry a cocktail hour without a second thought.
