STELLA MCCARTNEY

Gathered-skirt cut-out silk midi dress

This gathered-skirt dress by Stella McCartney plays with volume, flirts with the 70s (the eponymous British designer’s inspiration for AW22), and embraces comfort all at once. Cut from lustrous silk, the gathered, flared skirt and plunging waist give it a slip-on, slouch around vibe – while the cutout detail at the neck shifts things into more grown-up territory. Take yours on holiday to catch the last rays of sun, or play hostess to the neighbours as you offer vol-au-vents in your party frock.
