Seasons of East - Autumn in London Dress
About the Autumn in London Dress
Autumn in London is an extremely flattering and versatile maxi dress. Its many design features, including a button down front, collar and collar stand, are sure to keep even the most experienced of sewers happy. Delicate pleat detailing on the sleeves and some gentle shaping at the waist add to the relaxed vibe.
Team Autumn in London with a pair of flat pumps for those busy on-the-go days around London or flip flops for when the weather is slightly warmer. For those chillier autumn days, layer with a chunky cardigan, tights and boots. Alternatively, a pair of wedges will take the look from daytime to nighttime; perfect for an evening out.
