A geo print runs in vertical columns down the full length of the dress, giving the eye a clean line to follow from collar to midi hem. 100% cotton - breathable and soft against the skin, it holds its shape through a full day's wear without feeling stiff or heavy. The self-fabric tie belt cinches at the natural waist, creating definition without constraining the pleated skirt beneath, which swings freely as you move. Short, slightly boxy sleeves sit away from the shoulder rather than clinging to the arm - a detail that keeps the silhouette relaxed and unforced. A pointed shirt collar anchors the neckline, giving the dress a structured starting point that balances the fuller skirt below. This dress sits comfortably alongside the kind of wardrobe built on pieces that do more than one job. The pleated skirt has enough volume to move well on its feet, making it as suited to a long afternoon at a family gathering as it is to a weekend farmers' market or a lunch out with friends. The model wears it with knee-high suede boots, which is a strong pairing - the boot elongates the leg beneath the midi hem and keeps the look grounded rather than summery. In warmer months, flat leather sandals or pointed-toe loafers work just as well, shifting the feel from structured to easy. Wear the belt tied at the front for a more polished silhouette, or left loose and open for something more relaxed. The geo print carries enough visual interest on its own, so jewellery can stay simple - small hoop earrings, as seen on the model, are all it needs. | Principles Women's Geo Belted Collar Midi Dress in Chocolate | Size: 12
