A knee-length A-line sun dress in a Roses print — princess seams through the bodice, a lined skirt, and yes, pockets.
Highlights
✓A-line shaped with princess seams — the shaping is stitched into the bodice rather than gathered, so the bodice follows the body and the skirt still swings
✓Short bubble sleeves — a rounded sleeve that covers the shoulder without the heat of a full sleeve
✓Scoop neckline with a keyhole closure — the keyhole keeps the scoop from gaping and gives the neckline a finish rather than a raw curve
✓Elastic back waistband — the comfort is behind you, so the front waist stays flat while the back gives through a long lunch
✓Lined skirt with side seam pockets — the lining keeps a light print opaque in bright sun, and the pockets sit inside the seam
Knee-length and lined makes this a daytime dress you can commit to: it holds up at a lunch, a shower or a garden party without needing a slip underneath.
