Lanna Brown Floral Frill-Neck Maxi Dress

Brown is an unexpected home for florals, which is exactly why the Lanna Maxi Dress looks so assured — a warm, earthy ground with blooms scattered full-length across it.

The high round neckline wears a delicate frill detail, and behind it a keyhole feature closes with a button at the nape. The elasticised shirred bodice hugs just right and stretches to fit, an elasticised waist defines the middle without a zip's formality, and the skirt relaxes into an a-line that flows to maxi length with every step. The dress is lined.

Florals on brown are made for the golden end of the calendar — harvest dinners, vineyard afternoons, autumn weddings, any event lit low and warm. Tan sandals and gold jewellery deepen the palette; a cream wrap lifts it. It is the floral dress for people who think they have outgrown floral dresses. They have not; they were waiting for this one.
