Looking for an elegant formal shift dress but in a long lasting style? Look no further than this beautiful Saturn Spot Dress from those formal wear masters, French Connection. At £77, this classic shift dress style is elegant and sophisticated, a true staple with a polka dot pattern which never seems to go out of style. The empire line and ruche topped skirt create a flattering eye catching detail, making the most of the smallest part of your waist and keeping your tum looking trim. We love the modern take on the classic polka dot print with the uneven hand painted effect dots, a French Connection staple dress so effortlessly chic it can be accessorised in imaginative ways to keep it looking fresh. For sophisticated summer engagements let the dress take centre stage and keep it simple with towering nude stilettos, clutch bag and an amazing tan, or in winter brighten up a dull day by adding colourful tights and jewelled accessories, a versatile number which will keep you looking elegant for many seasons to come.
