This flattering short dress hugs the bust and accentuates the waist before gently flaring out at skirt level. The pussy bow collar and 3/4-length sleeves with a slight puff at the shoulders elegantly structure the piece by adding interest. The vintage-style soft paisley-print velvet tops off the dress with autumnal tones. We wear it with a pair of over-the-knee boots and a long coat for a sophisticated 70s look.
For a shortcut to French style, head straight to Claudie Pierlot for the ultimate Parisian capsule. Collections are infused with the brand’s characteristic irreverent attitude, from t-shirts to serious tailoring – and the accessories are extra special, too.
