On location in Venice: the Venetian Blue shirt dress with broderie anglais: midi length, pure cotton, super stylish

We spied this chic Venetian Blue cotton shirt dress on a fashion shoot in Venice. It’s stylish, cool, effortlessly easy—and elegant broderie anglais on the skirt adds texture and creates a contemporary yet classic dress which looks good in any setting.

Broderie anglaise goes back to Europe in the 16th century, but it was English artisans who made it their own in Victorian times—and its current resurgence is making it one of this season’s favourite looks as well as an all-time embroidery classic. In our Venetian Blue dress it adds a feminine touch without being fussy.

A classic shirt collar, three-quarter sleeves and A-line cut cinched by a tie waist add flattering touches which suit every figure. The pure cotton drapes effortlessly, creating a lightweight dress combining comfort and style for a fresh summer look.

Sizes: Small (UK 6/8), Medium (UK 10/12) and Large (UK 12/14).

In Venetian Blue (cobalt – on back order), also Venetian Lagoon (navy), Venetian Rose (deep red-pink), Venetian Stucco (beige), Venetian Emerald (green) and Venetian Khaki.
