THE POWER PRINT DRESS

Get set for spring with this sunshine-ready maxi dress from the latest must-see Per Una collection

If you don't like receiving compliments, you probably shouldn’t buy this dress. Not only does it feature an effortlessly cool, easy-breezy shape that is so right for the changing seasons, the eye-catching print was inspired by a scrap of 18th century Japanese kimono fabric uncovered in Marks & Spencer’s archive, giving it next-level design credentials. Wear with a leather fanny pack and chunky slide sandals to add edge to the lightweight cotton composition (100% sustainably sourced, of course) and you’ll be set take on the inevitable ‘where did you get that?’ questioning from friends. Bring it on, we say.
