HELEN | pleated dress | linen
A contemporary and classic dress. The reason she's our best seller. Deep inverted pleats create extra swish and fullness in the skirt. Kimono sleeves are rolled to finish at the elbow. Deep side seam pockets as standard for all your bits and bobs. Helen comes with a belt made using the same material. The belt is over 2 metres long so that you can style it in different ways.
