Oozing sophistication with a modest yet figure-flattering cut, it’s designed with a subtle abstract print that combines navy and khaki hues for a striking appearance. Shoppers even say the silhouette is "universally flattering" while also being "a steal at the price".
Dress up in this elegant maxi silhouette, designed with a tie-neck detail, keyhole opening, fluted sleeves, asymmetrical hem and fit-and-flare shape.
Why we rate it
Made from a fabric that drapes beautifully and is bound to make you look and feel great, the dress features a super elegant khaki print that is perfect for an autumn occasion.
The shape of the dress is one that suits a range of body types, too, thanks to the flattering fit-and-flare cut, with a floaty skirt and slightly nipped-in waist.
Designed with stylish tie-neck detail, keyhole opening and fluted, airy sleeves, the finishing touches give the dress an effortless yet refined overall feel.

As for styling, it definitely lends itself well to an occasion — whether that's a wedding, celebratory dinner or special date night — paired with some kitten heels, statement jewellery and clutch bag.
If you really wanted to maximise its usage during autumn and winter, you could even throw on a blazer and some flats, and style it ready for a trip to the office.
One thing to note is that this is a maxi dress, not a midi, so if you're on the petite side, you may find you have to wear it with heels in order for it to be the right length.
We don't see it being in stock very long whatsoever and some sizes have already sold out, so snap yours up now.
What the reviews say
Relatively new to John Lewis, there's currently a handful of review from shoppers which praise the expensive-looking design and value.
"This dress is a winner. Universally flattering bias cut, gorgeous khaki and navy abstract print, statement sleeves and tie. I have had two compliments a day every time I have worn it. No one can believe it's from JL."
"I absolutely love this dress so easy to wear and great material and lovely fit, no side zip, a dream fit for me!!!"
"I was looking for a summer wedding dress and ended buying this one too because it was so beautiful. I do think it would suit a winter wedding more than a summer one, but loved it so much I couldn't pass on getting it. I'd also definitely recommend tying as a pussybow - I think it adds to the look."
