This is a really versatile dress in 100% cotton- cool and comfortable for summer. It is a clever design with a rouched elasticated top that can be worn as a strapless dress - the elastic makes it supportive if you want to wear without a bra. It can also be worn as a skirt as shown- great for holidays when space is limited. Ideal for summer days and holidays with flip flops, or dressed up with some glam jewelery for evening.
