Summer in London is a beautiful dress with a distinctly vintage feel. Princess seams are used to give a lovely fitted shape to the bodice which is fully lined, whilst gathering provides fullness to the elegant midi length skirt. Fastened at the back with a concealed zip and with the option of making the rouleaux straps adjustable, there are plenty of techniques for sewers to sink their teeth into.

We love to accessorise Summer in London with sunglasses and a rattan bag for a real holiday vibe. Alternatively, add a cropped cardigan or jacket or layer over a t-shirt for a more casual feel.
