Pascaline Square Neck Midi Dress

A neckline that stays put. The square front sits on wide, flat straps that run over the shoulder and into a low scoop at the back, so nothing slips and nothing needs pulling back up once you have it on.

Why you'll feel good about this

This is the dress for the spring diary — the registry office, the christening, the long lunch that turns into drinks. The bodice is built from shaped seams and the skirt is released at the waist into a wide A-line, so it reads finished standing still and moves properly when you walk.

Why you'll love it

• Straps that hold — wide and flat over the shoulder, so the square neckline sits where you set it
• Shaped, not stretched — the bodice is built from seams, so the shape comes from the cut and not from gripping
• A skirt with room — released at the waist into a wide A-line, so sitting down and walking both stay easy
