Print and natural fabric run through most of our casual dresses for women, and the shirt dresses layer especially well. Belt one, or wear it open over trousers.
Orientique, from Australia, is the print specialist, and its godet skirts swing as you walk. Georgede designs dress and bolero sets in Paris for fuller figures. Bibico keeps to linen and denim. Zen Ethic works in organic cotton, and Seasalt's dresses carry its own Cornish prints.
These are boutique dresses from labels you will not find on every high street, which is why we chose them. Most are women's day dresses, for work, for town and for lunch out, and with tights and a cardigan they carry on through winter.
Try a few on in Shaftesbury, or pair one with something from our women's knitwear.
