Sienna, now with a sleeve, in a print that feels like a holiday. Pack it first.

The Sienna is a flutter sleeve midi dress made from 100% viscose, in a mint lemon print. It has a square neckline front and back, a fitted bodice and a full pleated skirt that falls to a midi length. The flutter sleeves are gathered at the shoulder for fullness and sit over the top of the arm. It has pockets and a back zip, and the bra-friendly cut means no fuss underneath. It's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.

The new flutter sleeve is fuller than last year's frill and covers a little more of the upper arm, so you get the ease of a sundress with a touch more coverage. The square neckline frames the collarbones, and the pleats release from the waist seam so the skirt swings when you walk. The print is a whole coastline in mint and turquoise, with sunny villas, palms, pink lilies and bright yellow lemons.

Wear it with flat sandals and a basket bag on holiday, or dress it up with gold jewellery for a summer wedding.

FAQ

Does the Sienna run true to size, and which size should I take?
The Sienna has a fitted bodice and a full pleated skirt, so take your usual size for the bodice and let the skirt do the rest. The back zip makes it easy to get on and off. 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 Sienna is made from 100% viscose. It's soft, light and breathable, with a fluid drape that lets the pleated skirt swing as you walk. It feels cool against the skin on hot days, which makes it an easy choice for long summer afternoons.

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 Sienna will hold its colour and shape season after season, ready whenever you want it.

What can I wear the flutter sleeve midi dress with?
Wear it with flat sandals for long lunches and holidays, or add a wedge and gold jewellery for a summer wedding. Gold, coral or green accessories pick up the print without competing with it. A woven basket bag finishes it off.

Where is it made?
The Sienna 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.
