French Connection Caramel One Shoulder Dress in Pavlova / Grey

This dress has a back zip fastening and is fully lined.

Fabric and Care: 58% modal, 39% cotton, 3% elastane; dry clean only

Style note: This is an unusual and unique designed party dress and ideal if you want to wear something a little different. It’s almost like a combination of a bandeau dress and a draped, grecian dress. As the colours are neutral, it’s easy to team with accessories, but I would choose something metallic for extra glamour – some high heeled strappy gold sandals would look great, or if you prefer a flat shoe, French Connection’s Patricius Beaded Cuff Flat Sandal is very cute.
