JOANA | ELEGANT PLEATED MAXI DRESS

Pleats do something no other fabric detail manages — they move with you, and they hide everything you would rather they hid.

Joana is a full-length V-neck dress with long sleeves and a soft pleated skirt, drawn in at the waist with a ribbon tie you can pull as gently or as firmly as you like. It is the sort of dress that works for a wedding, a christening, or a long lunch where you will be sitting down for three hours.

• Tie waist — you set how fitted it is
• Long sleeves for occasions where you would rather be covered
• Pleated skirt that falls straight and moves easily

Fit: Available S to 2XL. The tie waist gives useful flexibility either side of your usual size.
