The Emilia dress is a fun and flirty shirt dress with a standing collar and classic pussy bow. It sits at calf-length with subtle pleats at the front and back. Make Emilia up in a luxurious silk for the festive season or go casual with cotton for the everyday. Style it loose and relaxed or cinched in at the waist with the elasticated ribbon tie.

Fabric advice

If you're on quest for the perfect party dress, make the Emilia in a luxurious fabric with a fluid drape like crepe or satin. Turn the 'demure' bow into something flirtatious with a busy print (think floral or 'snakeskin'). To make a real statement, choose a cotton fabric with body and leave the casing and tie out. Options galore!
