Phase Eight Black Ivory Sailor Dress

With summer holidays fast approaching many of us will have sun, sea and sand on our minds twenty-four seven. Thinking of boat trips out on the water and strolls along the beach, well now you can do it in real nautical style with this Black and Ivory Sailor Dress from Phase Eight at Debenhams. Take a look and see if you want to sail away in this gorgeous nautical dress for the summer.

With a variation on the traditional blue and white theme that we most associate with sailors the black will appeal to a wider range of people. The white contrast against the black background enhances the detail giving what it really quite a simple dress much more impact. The white belt like sections around the waist draws your attention giving the appearance of a small, nipped in waistline.

Wide straps mean lots of support and no need to go on an extensive hunt for the right underwear for the dress! The straps being the same colour as the top edging ties them in well so they don’t look like last minute additions. The white straps will also set off a nice tan!

At above knee length this sailor dress is going to keep you nice and cool in the sunshine, whilst the overall image remains modest and casual. It has a structured appearance without any constricting elements to the actual garment, giving you a slimline figure. Black is also a very flattering colour and even though it might attract a few rays of sunshine it’s worth getting a little bit toasty to look this good!

It’s the simplicity and the monochrome appearance that makes this Phase Eight dress so appealing for casual events. The bold sections of colour and the large doll-like buttons give an almost playful feel to the dress. It’s the sharp lines and contrasts that make this dress appear detailed, and gives it the style that is so eye-catching.

Taking the two colours and creating interesting accessories combos with it will finish off the outfit, maybe you’ll even find a little sailor’s hat to go with it!! Whichever colour you prefer is the one you should emphasise with jewellery, shoes and don’t forget a handbag for all those daily necessities! Make it as bold or subtle as you like, the plain dress allows you to be as experimental as you like.

Available in sizes 8- 18 for £79 from Debenhams. This Black and Ivory Sailor Dress by Phase Eight isn’t one to miss out on, comfort and style all in one dress.
