Contrast Striped Square Neck Cami Dress

I usually struggle with square neck dresses sitting too low, but the shoulder ties make this one easy to adjust. The smocked top feels secure without being tight.

I wore it with white sandals and a little necklace and that was enough. The stripes make it feel cheerful but not too loud.

It has the pretty summer-dress look, but the pockets make it genuinely useful. The skirt moves nicely when walking and the bodice gives shape.

This is the kind of dress I like packing first because it works for daytime, dinner and walking around without changing the whole outfit.

The pastel stripes look so good in daylight. It feels bright and summery without being too bold or childish.

I put it on with gold hoops and sandals and felt ready straight away. It gives that relaxed but still polished summer look.

I like that the top gives shape without feeling stiff. It holds nicely and the skirt has a soft, easy movement.

The stripes do most of the styling. I did not need a belt or jacket to make it feel finished.

The dress looks especially nice with white sandals. It feels clean, sunny and easy for warm days.

The square neckline and little frill edge make it feel feminine without being fussy. It works nicely with a small necklace.

It feels light enough for daytime but still pretty enough for dinner. I like that it does not feel too formal.

Being able to adjust the straps makes a big difference. I could make the neckline sit exactly where I wanted it.

The vertical stripes show up beautifully in pictures and make the dress look more interesting than a plain sundress.

I wanted something I could throw on and still feel put together. This does exactly that.

The tiered skirt has a nice swish when you walk. It is relaxed but still feels pretty.

The smocked bodice, tie straps and pockets make it feel more considered than most summer dresses I own.

I packed it for a short trip and wore it twice. It worked with sandals during the day and small heels at night.

I was worried the stripes might be too colourful, but they are soft and wearable. It feels cheerful in the right way.

I love that the pockets are hidden in the side and do not ruin the shape of the skirt.

It has that easy holiday feeling without needing a print that is too busy. The colours feel fresh and light.

I wore it with trainers and a denim jacket and it still looked cute. It is not only for holidays.

The smocked bodice gives some flexibility, but I would size up if you prefer more room through the bust.

This is exactly what I wanted for days when I do not want to plan an outfit. One dress and done.

The stripes do not look flat in person. The texture gives it more of a relaxed, woven summer feel.

It feels feminine, colourful and easy. I like that it looks styled but still comfortable enough for all day.
