Meet your new summer It dress: a white floral maxi dress. We have rounded up the most romantic styles to add to your basket now.
There is something so impossibly romantic about a white floral dress that you can’t help but feel a little bit Jane Austen when wearing one. The white background with ditsy floral print evokes images of the ideal British summer: fields of wildflowers, sun-kissed walks around cute thatched-roof cottages and picnics of strawberries and cream. Which is handy because these dresses have just emerged as this summer’s must-have item.
Is it because the simplicity of cottagecore with its foraging (plucking flowers from on our daily walks), baking banana bread, home crafting (hello, tie-dye) and pottery (home-made candlesticks we have been trying to mould of clay) has had universal appeal with the current state of affairs? Possibly.This belief is further bolstered by LIKEtoKNOW.it reporting an increase of 1150% in search for ‘floral white maxi dresses’ on its app.
