Ghost’s first sell-out dress of the summer is here and here’s how to style it.
From last season’s printed silk skirts to floral midi dresses, Ghost has enjoyed a major resurgence thanks to its pretty prints and perfect silhouettes. And this summer’s collection is no different.
The Nineties was, of course, all about wearing a slip dress – or skirt – with barely-there sandals, expertly coiffed hair and a petite little shoulder bag thrown in for good measure. This time around, though, Ghost eveningwear is being worn as much for day-to-day as it is for occasions. And none more so than the lemon print Alice dress.
