XS - XXXL

Freedom! The mid-length, Franca shirt dress enjoys making life easy for you. The large curved side slits at the bottom gives the design a gentle, friendly feel. But the polo collar, yoke at the back and short inset sleeves give it just the right dose of spirit. Dress up Franca in crepe or satin or go the cosy casual route with linen, for example. Altering the length is easy as 1-2-3. Franca also looks fab over skinny jeans, leggings or even wide-leg trousers. She's also sure to be your best friend at the beach in an airy cotton. Just slip her
on over your swimsuit! This prize is one you
won’t ever want to let go of.

Fabric advice

Make Franca in a fabric with a fluid drape. Woven fabrics such as viscose (crepe), polyester (crepe), cotton, satin, linen and Tencel are all good options. Knit fabrics also work as long as they have enough body. The details (collar, closure, etc.) won’t look crisp with a light-weight, overly thin jersey.
