In a lemon hue too good to resist, this dress comes in a slightly off-the-shoulder design and midi length. The sweetheart neckline brings the romance and the silhouette is slim-fitting, with a slightly cinched in waist. Completed with a subtle forget me not print, it is the kind of style you can wear in the garden now and at special occasions later.
