Makenene Poppies-Print Stand Collar Crepe De Chine Midi Dress

A romantic dress inspired by classic Western tailoring and finished with a distinctly African twist. This elegant gown features a high collar and puffy long sleeves gathered into elegant cuffs and slightly capped shoulders. The fitted waistband gives way to a billowing skirt that falls below the knee. Inspired by traditional fashion, this dress redefines femininity for the bold, African women of the 21st Century. 

Crafted from delicate crepe de chine, the dress is printed with a gorgeous African-inspired wildflower design, featuring poppies, daisies and cowslip in monochrome with splashes of vibrant watercolour-effect hues. The front features an asymmetrical design that captures the imagination, bringing the style of the continent into the contemporary fashion scene. 

The fabric contains 100% silk, so it is soft and smooth to the touch, rests gently against skin and is super comfortable in all kinds of weather. 

Wear this dress with some casual sandals and subtle jewellery for a day out with friends or a summer evening occasion. Add heels and statement jewellery for a fresh and romantic formal look. 

However you choose to wear it, this premium garment is designed to last, and the timeless cut will keep it as a wardrobe highlight for years to come.
