Ellen Dress

The Ellen dress in a black floral print is a short, figure-following dress in a smooth polyester weave, made for women who want an easy pattern that carries from a weekday to an evening out. The floral print does the work here, so you can keep the rest simple.

Pair it with flat sandals and a denim jacket for daytime, or add heeled boots and a clutch when the plan is dinner. A cropped knit over the top takes it into cooler months.

Not for you if you prefer a looser, relaxed cut. This one sits close to the body.
