Fit and Flare Midi Dress

The fit-and-flare shape is popular for a reason: it fits through the bodice, cinches at the waist and then flares out, which flatters most figures and leaves plenty of room to move. This midi version does exactly that in a soft, lightweight fabric that drapes well and holds its shape through the day.

The length lands mid-calf, which makes it a safe choice for a wide range of plans: a brunch, a date night, a birthday party, a family lunch, a day at the office where dresses are fine. Heels make it evening-ready; flat sandals keep it easy for the afternoon. A denim jacket or a cardigan takes it into the cooler months.

• Fitted bodice with a cinched waist
• Flared midi-length skirt
• Soft, lightweight fabric

Care: wash gently in cold water, hang to dry and iron on a low setting. Hang it by the shoulders so the skirt keeps its flare.
