Quinn takes a holiday.

The Quinn is a fit and flare dress made from 100% viscose, in a mint lemon print. It has a shirt collar, a full button-front placket with wooden buttons, and extended cap sleeves finished with a deep hem. Pleats at the waist shape the bodice and release into the skirt, the back has an elasticated panel, and it has side pockets. It's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.

The pleats do the shaping here. They pull the waist in without a belt, then open into a skirt with plenty of swing, so it holds its line whether you're standing still or walking. The print is the same coastline as the Sienna: mint and turquoise, sunny villas, palms, pink lilies and bright yellow lemons.

Wear it with tan espadrilles and a gold cuff, as shot, or flat sandals and a straw bag for the beach. Hands in pockets is optional, but likely.

FAQ

Does the Quinn fit and flare dress run true to size?
The Quinn has a fit and flare shape, with pleats at the waist and an elasticated back panel doing the shaping, so it's forgiving through sizing. There's room through the skirt, and the cap sleeves sit easily on the shoulder. Our model is 1.70m and wears a size 32. Take your usual Signature by Des size.

What fabric is it made from and how does it wear?
The Quinn is made from 100% viscose. It's soft, light and breathable, with a fluid drape that lets the skirt swing as you walk. It feels cool against the skin on hot days and holds the pleats at the waist without feeling stiff.

How do I wash and care for it?
Hand wash only, and wash dark colours separately. We suggest washing by hand to ensure the longevity of your garment, because a lot of care went into making it. Treated gently, the Quinn will hold its colour and shape season after season, ready whenever you want it.

What can I wear the mint lemon print dress with?
Tan espadrilles and a gold cuff, as shot, keep it easy for long lunches. Swap in flat sandals and a straw bag for the beach, or a wedge and statement earrings for a summer wedding. Yellow, coral or turquoise accessories pick up the print without competing with it.

Where is it made?
The Quinn is made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team. Like every Signature by Des style, it's produced in a limited run, so once the mint lemon print is gone, it's gone. Free delivery applies on orders over R1500.
