Democracy Ella Dress Black
Description
The Democracy Ella Dress in Black is wrapped in a bold floral print that's enough to run its own campaign!
There's a particular kind of freedom in a dress with real pockets, no bag required for the little essentials you want close at hand. It's cut with an elegant V-neckline, elbow-length sleeves, and a relaxed, gathered waist that swings gently into a flowing midi skirt. It's the kind of dress that carries you from a catch-up with friends to a leisurely afternoon wandering, without a second thought about what comes next. Wear it with flat sandals for something easy, or add a cropped jacket when you want a bit more polish.

- Designed in black with a bold, multicoloured floral print, made from an 87% viscose, 13% nylon blend that drapes beautifully and moves with ease throughout the day.
- A V-neckline adds a touch of polish and opens the neckline elegantly without any fuss.
- Elbow-length sleeves finish in a soft flounce, giving your arms room to move without any bulk at the cuff.
- A gently gathered waist shapes the silhouette, easing into a relaxed swing through the body.
- Side seam pockets give you somewhere real for your phone or keys, no bag required.
- A flowing midi skirt falls just below the calf, swishing with every step you take.
