Ellen Floral-Print Crepe Midi Dress

There's nothing better for a city summer than a prairie dress. RIXO reimagines the unforgettable Ellen dress in the fresh, hand-painted florals that the London label’s best-known for. Co-founders Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey say they’re aiming to bring the wanderlust of a bygone era into modern wardrobes – and we reckon they’ve struck gold here. The relaxed fit keeps you comfy, while puffed shoulders and an oversized collar add just the right amount of drama.

• 100% viscose; contrast 100% cotton
