Sullivan Forest Green Puff-Sleeve Maxi Dress

Forest green, floor-length, with volume at the shoulder — the Sullivan Maxi Dress is the deep-toned romantic in a wardrobe of pastels.

The V neckline opens the frame with easy elegance, while short puff sleeves add their trendy lift of volume at the shoulder line. The silhouette flows loose and unhurried to maxi length — the dress is unlined, keeping it light — and the back carries both a tie close detail and an invisible zip with a hook and eye clasp, so the fit adjusts and the closure disappears.

Forest green is the great underused occasion colour: richer than navy in candlelight, kinder than black in daylight. It carries autumn weddings, harvest dinners and winter parties, then surprises everyone at a summer garden event. Gold jewellery is practically mandatory with this shade; tan or gold sandals follow. Photographers seek this colour out — stand near the foliage and match it.
