Eclectic Reverie

Patchwork dresses can be a bit like those make-your-own adventure books from the 80s - you’re never quite sure what you’re going to get, but that’s half the fun. This one doesn’t disappoint. It’s not so much a dress as a multi-colour conversation starter - equal parts art piece and antidote to fast fashion’s beige parade. Crafted from patchwork squares with no two alike, this midi dress is an ode to self-expression. Dramatic? Maybe. But you won’t care about drama when your arms are swishing through those loose 3/4 sleeves and the hem’s spinning around your ankles in what can only be described as “a vibe”. There’s a kind of casual confidence about it all - it refuses to define the waist, and says ‘no thanks’ to lining or structure. You throw it on with accessories if you want, or let it speak for itself (let’s face it, this thing SHOUTS). O-neck means no fuss or faffing about zips, and the hemline says yes please to comfort for any age or season. A dress like this makes me want to cancel my plans just so I can wear it more often - but wouldn’t that defeat the purpose?
