Alexis Dress – Vintage Romance in Ditsy Purple
Feminine and floaty, the Alexis Dress in Ditsy lilac Print is a softly structured dream. Crafted from 100% viscose, it skims beautifully and feels light and breathable against the skin. With a flattering square neckline, gently ruched bust, and empire line that defines without clinging, it’s a shape designed to flatter all the right places. Slight puff sleeves add a subtle touch of volume at the shoulder, balancing the silhouette and adding just enough vintage charm. This is one of those dresses that does everything with ease – dress it up, dress it down, wear it everywhere.

Size Guide
• Hil (5'3", UK 10/12): On Hil, Alexis hits mid-calf with a softly draping skirt. The empire line sits perfectly under the bust and the ruched front gives a flattering shape without feeling tight.
• Sue (5'0", UK 6): A longer midi on Sue but still proportionally lovely. She pairs it with a cropped knit or denim jacket to balance the length and sleeves.
General Rule: Viscose will soften with wear but doesn’t stretch. If you're between sizes or fuller in the bust, consider sizing up for comfort across the top.

Why We Love It
We love Alexis for its romantic, vintage-inspired details. The square neckline and empire waist are ultra flattering, while the puff sleeves and ditsy print bring just enough whimsy. It’s soft, breathable, and easy to wear – everything a summer dress should be.

Styling Suggestions
• Hil’s Look – Softly Polished:
Hil adds a statement earring, tan sandals, and a structured crossbody bag for a look that’s perfect for garden parties or dinner al fresco.
• Sue’s Look – Effortless Boho:
Sue layers it with a slouchy cardi and ankle boots, adding a little neck scarf for a pop of colour. It’s her go-to for late summer days and weekend wandering.
