[affiliate/ad] So you can probably tell I’m all beautied out this week – just occasionally I feel a bit overloaded so I’ve been distracting myself by looking at dresses. I’m going to Paris in a couple of weeks to see Max who I haven’t seen since Christmas (he lives in Sweden with whom we have no air bridge) and just hoping that I don’t have to quarantine. But, if I do, I do – I need to see my child! August is notoriously hot in Paris so I’ve been looking for a dress to take that I won’t boil in while we walk around and for someone who isn’t particularly a dress fan, it’s been more of a search than I thought. However, I think I’ve found it.
This is exactly right I think (will wear with my black quilty Fit Flops) and it’s in such a light rayon fabric that it’s as near as I can get to wearing nothing at all while melting by the Louvre. Tiers are a bit of a theme for Hush this year – personally, I’m wary of tiers – it’s just one gathering stitch away from looking like a wedding cake – but this seems to flow nicely without any particular volume. The print is stars on khaki – I’m always drawn to stars and love khaki so, I’m pressing buy and keeping fingers crossed. It seems a bit late in the season to be buying a dress but I suppose there are two months of wearing opportunity left which is fine – and there’s always next year. I am literally talking myself into the purchase by pretending to provide content! Off to purchase …. you can find it HERE (there is another colour – pink dots), non affiliate HERE.

Fab dress for the hot summer weather! Not too open, but not prudish either (the older I get the more I prefer some deep V over baring all legs and all arms)… Good luck with your trip! Fingers crossed for no quarantine/
I’m 100% for the deep V!
Looks amazing! Think I’ll go for the pink one. Do you size down with Hush? I’ve had a couple of tops but they’re always really wide at the shoulders. X
All the reviews say same size or size down for this so I’ve ordered a 10.
Really, really love this! I’ve adored seeing all the floaty frocks, online at least, this year.
One tiny detail on your dress here that I dig a lot is the cuff finish on the sleeves. So much more secure, as it were. I’ve a horror of flappy sleevelets, for some reason!
I think you’ll look absolutely perfect for Paris in this and your Chanel-vibe sandals. Appropriate and smart for everywhere you might wish to visit, but also relaxed and comfortable.
Excellent buy. :))
Thanks Cal! The sleeves are the one thing I’m hesitant about in case they dig in – I’m already mentally figuring out how to adjust them.
I love a nice frock and reckon you could wear this into a mild October with tights, vest and petticoats. I’m probably the only woman left in the UK who likes a nice petticoat.
Yes – easy to shove a jumper over the top and add some boots I think. Not sure I’d venture back to a petticoat but why not!
Love this dress, Jane. Am currently wearing a similar one from and/or at JL which I got in the sale and have lived in! Enjoy Paris! Xx
Thank you – yes, it’s sort of a secret suit-all I think – glad you found a sale bargain!
I bought a similar design from White Company a couple of months ago – tiered, deep V, but sleeveless. I too worried about the tiers – I do NOT need more volume around my bottom and thighs – but somehow it isn’t a problem.
I love it so much – it’s my default go-to every time I leave the house. If I were going to Paris I would pack it and one other dress I love and I’d pretty much be set! Great choice.
If the cut is right tiers aren’t a problem – they just sort of flow. You’re spot on about the packing – am planning a couple of dresses and one pair of trousers and that is it!
