How I love our Applepicker’s dress! This black version was my first “little black dress” so I’m especially excited about her, but there are teal and red versions now available too.

Designed to flatter every figure, the ruched Applepicker’s hugs the bust ever so gently before skimming over the tummy and then widening slightly at the skirt. There are pretty Broderie Anglaise flowers just above the scalloped hemline. The sleeves are very generously cut and ruched at the cuffs and can be worn full length or pushed up to reveal a little more wrist. The crisp cotton poplin lets your skin breathe and feels refreshing.

With her long voluminous sleeves, the Applepicker’s can be worn during the day and evening and throughout the in-between months (which seem to me to be most months of the year in our northern climes). She’ll even take you through to winter with a thin tee underneath and/or a little tank on top.

Modelled here by Lola simply without accessories, the Applepicker’s is extremely versatile and I leave it to your imagination to envisage just how chic she can look worn with pretty jewellery and shoes (high or low).

This dress should be washed separately by hand or in a machine on a gentle programme at 30 degrees max, air-dried and pressed with an iron.
