Dorothy Perkins Women's Petite Hanky Hem Printed Chiffon Shirt Dress in Blue | Size: 4

The hanky hem is the defining detail here - the skirt falls into sharp, diagonal points that catch movement with every step, giving the silhouette an effortless, drifting quality. A woven chiffon construction that sits lightly on the body, skimming rather than clinging, with long sleeves that gather gently at the cuff for a polished finish. The self-tie belt sits at the waist and can be worn loosely knotted or tied into a neat bow - either way it defines the shape without restricting it. Printed with an overlapping check and floral motif that reads as one cohesive pattern rather than two competing ones - considered and a little unexpected at closer look. A classic shirt collar and button placket keep the neckline grounded, ensuring the dress works as smartly as it does at more relaxed daytime events. This dress earns its place at the front of the wardrobe for the moments that need a little more thought. The shirt structure gives it enough formality for a wedding or a summer races day,
