This stunning pure silk dress by British designer John Bates is a beautifully tailored piece, balancing elegance with architectural detail. The upper half is rendered in soft heather silk, subtly contrasting with a pleated dove grey skirt. The sleeves are cleverly shaped from the waist in a wide fan-like cut, reaching to the wrist where silk-covered buttons fasten each cuff. The back of the dress features a row of matching buttons from the waist to the neckline, concealing a discreet rear zip beneath.
