A new outfit from Catherine Summers of Not Dressed As Lamb, whom we introduced to YLF in June 2013.

What a showstopper this frock is! With its fit-and-flare silhouette and bold gingham pattern, it would have been right at home at the 1950’s French Riviera. Yet, its timeless integrity feels just as retro modern and fun today. The wrapped waist with bow in the back is a beautiful design detail that accentuates Catherine’s small waist. The colour blocked flats with metallic accent show that you don’t need heels to make a midi work. Note how Catherine has picked colour blocked accessories in neutral colours. They cleverly complement the checked pattern of the dress without competing with it. Her braided hair, Panama hat and playful starfish earrings are the perfect finishing touches.
