Gorgeous, simple shift dress. The hem and cut out back add interest. Great for the random summer days we keep experiencing but also can be re-vamped for winter and work with black tights and a little black fitted jacket.
This is the concession line Hinksey By Hinks Taylor available on ASOS.com for £65 or in either of our Fashion Enter Boutiques!
Until next time, have a great week All the team at Fashion Capital x
