Long Knit Dress

This long dress in a cherry-red knit can be as romantic and bohemian as you please. It is fitted around the bust and then flares out into accordion pleats at skirt level. At the back, it has a buttoned fastening from the nape of the neck to the waist with delicate round pearly buttons: a subtle and sophisticated touch. We like to pair it with warm colours and soft fabrics like a shearling coat to take advantage of its elegant 70s feel.

• 65% viscose, 35% nylon
