Mystic Bloom Dress

This dress is for those who believe subtlety is highly overrated. All-out, full-tilt maximalism is the look here. And doesn’t it do it well? The Mystic Bloom Dress is a real art lesson in print and pattern-making, from the psychedelic paisleys to the mirrored geometric motifs that are all thoroughly unique but somehow work together beautifully. The border print really anchors the design visually, so it doesn’t end up looking too free-for-all. And even if you don’t care about any of that - it has to be said that this dress wears like a dream. It’s completely unrestrictive and flowy, with a loose A-line silhouette, short length, elbow-length sleeves, and room to spare. The hemline falls mid-thigh on most heights, so it can be paired with anything from skinny jeans to leggings to mid-calf boots.

But back to design - the neckline dips into a wide V shape and is met by ruched pleating beneath the bust. This creates visual interest while drawing attention upward towards the face. There’s no stretch in this relaxed fit number but there really doesn’t need to be - there’s plenty of space for movement without feeling over-sized or awkwardly fitting.
